OpenModelica
OMPython breaks with Python 3.12
Description
OMPython is not compatible with python 3.12 because distutils is deprecated. See 1 for details.
OMPython imports spawn from distutils and uses the find_executable() function for the class OMCSessionHelper.
Steps to reproduce
Install OpenModelica and Python 3.12. Install OMPython with this guide 2. Execute a test script:
from OMPython import OMCSessionZMQ
omc = OMCSessionZMQ()`
Expected behavior
Change the function find_executable() with the recommended subprocess.run().

@JaxRaffnix I suggest you to manually setup the install after downloading the OMPython repo and do
>>> python setup.py install
It's not good when OMPython isn't running out of the box on Python 3.12 and newer.
I encountered this in some CI I'm creating. setup.py isn't easily available when installing OMPython via pip.
@arun3688 we should move towards setuptools.
