key4hep stuck on python 3.11.9

key4hep-stack is stuck on python 3.11.9

This is because py-onnx and py-networkx was stuck on numpy1 which apparently is not supported on numpy2 and gaudi is stuck on py-networkx.

I am updating everything on spack

py-onnxruntime is also fixed to numpy 1 without an update to 1.20

Found the big issue mesa was limited to python 3.11 because of a problem that was fixed

The number of packages that need to be updated in order to move to python >= 3.11 is quite large and I've got the patches in the dev/fixes branch of hkphysics/spack

The root cause for the large number of fixes is that 3.12 removes distutils from the standard packages resulting a large number of packages which need to be rebuilt to include setuptools. The distributions in pip have been rebuilt but this involved updating a large number of packages in spack.

Also some of the python packages had dependencies that pulled in numpy 1, and the fixes in spack updates everything to use numpy 2

I am currently able to build a version of key4hep on python 3.13

also look at the dev/fixes in hkphysics/key4hep-stack for some changes to key4hep-stack package that forces newer python.
