Wheel for Python 3.12 in Windows

[brian7704]

I was trying to install this library from PyPI on Windows 10 and Python 3.12 but it failed to build with the following error.

PS C:\Users\h\ots\unishox2-py3-1.0.0> pip install unishox2-py3

I downloaded the source package from PyPI and was able to build the wheel I needed by removing these two lines from SOURCES.txt

/home/runner/work/unishox2-py3/unishox2-py3/unishox2_module.c
/home/runner/work/unishox2-py3/unishox2-py3/Unishox2/unishox2.c

You can download the wheel here.

My project OpenTAKServer uses unishox2-py3 and I was wondering if you could add this wheel to PyPI or build one yourself and add to PyPI. That would make installation easier for my users. Thanks!
