Pythonwin interactive window now gets tracebacks with python3.12, probably 3.11 too...

Expected behavior and actual behavior
When you start typing a function call in the interactive window of Pythonwin, it used to give you a "CallTip" that indicated the arguments to the function in question. Hoewever, the CallTips mechanism no longer works because it depends on a function, inspect.formatargspec(), that has apparently been deprecated since python 3.5, and removed in python 3.11. (See python/cpython#28618.)
This makes using the pythonwin interactive window very problematic.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Open pythonwin 3.12.1
>>> import os
>>> os.path.join(As soon as you hit the (, you get the traceback:
>>> Failed to format the args
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\ProgramData\conda\envs\myenv\lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\idle\CallTips.py", line 133, in get_arg_text
argText = inspect.formatargspec(*inspect.getfullargspec(fob))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'inspect' has no attribute 'formatargspec'. Did you mean: 'formatargvalues'?
(see GrahamDumpleton/wrapt#196 for a similar issue with wrapt that was then fixed.)
