Does not build on python 3.12

[veenstrajelmer]

cachier cannot be installed on Python 3.12 because of a pathtools dependency, which in turn depends on imp. The pathtools issue is https://github.com/gorakhargosh/pathtools.

pathtools is not imported in cachier, but it is stated as a requirement in the pyproject.toml:

cachier/setup.py

Lines 53 to 57 in f1a96b8

	install_requires=[
	'watchdog', 'portalocker',
	'pathtools', # for watchdog, who has dependency spec problem
	'setuptools>=67.6.0', # to avoid vulnerability in 56.0.0
	],

It states that it is for watchdog, but if I look in that repos pathtools does not seem to be a requirement there.

Could this requirement not be removed so cachier is installable on Python 3.12?

I removed the pathtools dependency and things seem to work, by Python 3.12 testing doesn't work because of a pip issue. See here:

The action run you are pointing to states "this is likely not a problem with pip", so could it be that it is not a pip issue? If I scroll up a bit I see see "AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?". This comes not from the cachier sourcecode, but the versioneer script. Reading in the configparser documentation it seems that they have deprecated SafeConfigParser in favor of Configparser. It does not explain why this only occurs on py312 though, but maybe you could try replacing this? They still support python>=3.8, so I guess replacing it should work for all testbanks.

Oh snap! I misread that!

OK. So it does look like it's a versioneer issue!
I'm going to try to solution applied here:

Done. Released in v2.2.2.

Thanks a lot for these quick actions!
