Replace imp with importlib

This project uses the imp module which has been deprecated since Python 3.4 and set for removal in 3.12:
• Raised PendingDeprecationWarning since 3.4 (2014)
• Raised DeprecationWarning since 3.5 (2015)
• Updated DeprecationWarning to say removal in 3.12 since 3.10 (2021)
• Removal planned for 3.12 (2023)

This change removes the dependency on imp in favour of importlib.
