testsuite: workaround bug in python-3.12

There is some unexplained change to binding behaviour in python-3.12
which requires moving this import from the top-level into the scope of
the function.

I didn't feel any particular desire to do a deep investigation as to why
this changed as the code works when modified like this. No one in the
python IRC channel seemed to know what the problem was.

(cherry picked from commit 43aa99b8169fc6d8552844cd6fa0ce3cd4308185)
