Description of the bug

I'm working on an old project, using pymupdf-1.23.6, everything works just fine

• MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)
• Python 3.9.13
• print(fitz.doc)
  PyMuPDF 1.23.6: Python bindings for the MuPDF 1.23.5 library.
  Version date: 2023-11-06 00:00:01.
  Built for Python 3.9 on darwin (64-bit).

When I upgraded to 1.24.x today, Python crashes as soon as I import fitz or import pymupdf
I tried 1.24.3 --> 1.24.7, but the same problem happened

I uninstalled 1.24.7, and installed 1.23.6, then it's ok again.

Install PymuPDF 1.24.x
Import PymuPDF in the project
