pip list fails on Python 3.12a5 on Windows with AttributeError

[icemac]

Description

I am running pip list and get a because of an AttributeError.

Using:

• Python 3.12a5
• on GitHub Actions
• on a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 OS
• in the RestrictedPython project

It only occurs on Windows, only for Python 3.12 (Ubuntu and other Python versions are fine.)

Expected behavior

Rendering of the list of installed packages.

pip version

23.0.1

Python version

3.12a5

OS

Microsoft Windows Server 2022

How to Reproduce

I have no access to a locally installed Windows machine, so I am unable reproduce the error locally.

In GHA I do the following:

1. git clone https://github.com/zopefoundation/RestrictedPython.git
2. python -m pip install --upgrade pip
3. pip install tox
4. tox -e py312
5. pip list is than called by tox via tox.ini.

Output

py312: commands[1]> pip list
