Windows: PyZMQ before v20 is not working anymore

Please see https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/752 for context

python -m nuitka --version

1.1rc1
Commercial: None
Python: 3.9.12 (tags/v3.9.12:b28265d, Mar 23 2022, 23:52:46) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)]
Flavor: Unknown
Executable: C:\Users\LeimgruberF\dev\precert-poetry\.venv\Scripts\python.exe
OS: Windows
Arch: x86_64
WindowsRelease: 10

The issue template said to *not* report against factory version, but I first saw this error on factory when testing for the fix in https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/752#issuecomment-1200837337, also tested with Nuitka 1.0, same error.

Python installed via pyenv-win, Nuitka via Poetry from local factory branch. Poetry installs to a virtualenv.

On running the built exe, I get

Nuitka command used

poetry run python -m nuitka --standalone --mingw --show-scons --plugin-enable=numpy .\main.py

So, I was using pyzmq==22.3.0 successfully just now. Probably your old version has other implicit dependencies.

This is part of the stable release 1.1 that I just made.
