python-sparse looks to have a hard dependency on numba, there's lots of
functions tagged with @numba.jit, several modules start with import
numba.

Given how hard it is for numba to update, I wish upstream would keep
numba an optional dependency.

I should probably remove the <!nocheck> since it seems required now.

I'm not sure how to help with the python3.12 transition though.
