Update caper for compatibility with Python 3.12+ #207

Description

@mihirsamdarshi

When running with Python 3.12, the latest version of caper CLI (2.3.2) fails to run due to a dependency on the deprecated distutils package.

Reproduction: (uvx is used to install and run a Python CLI tool in an isolated venv)

docker run -it ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.12-bookworm-slim uvx caper -v

Output:

Installed 70 packages in 320ms
Traceback (most recent call last):
