Incompatibility with python 3.13

[benjamin-gibson]

The latest version of the BEAST is somehow incompatibile with python 3.13. BEAST is fully compatible with python 3.12. Possibly something to do with how the newest version handles running .txt files as python code.

When compiling the settings from beast_settings.txt, variables are not being properly defined. I copied the error message below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
