Simply replacing

     from imp import reload

by

     from importlib import reload

solves the problem. Now the tests pass successfully. But 5 new deprecation 
warnings are produced:

DeprecationWarning: ast.Str is deprecated and will be removed in Python 
3.14; use ast.Constant instead

Probably, it would be better not to wait until things will break again (in 
python3.14), but to fix this new problem now.
