Unable to install with modern build tools

I'm trying to install csv2ofx on Python 3.12, but it fails when PyYAML<6 fails to build:

Same problem happens on Python 3.8-3.11.

[jaraco]

The underlying cause seems to be: yaml/pyyaml#601

PyYAML 6 does install from source, however, so probably the best course for csv2ofx is not to pin to old PyYAML.

[jaraco]

The PyYAML<6 dependency comes from meza<0.47. The latest version of meza also relies on PyYAML<6 :(

[reubano]

@jaraco you are a meza contributor now so I'd be happy if you were able to fix the underlying issue as well. Thanks!
