There are applications out there displaying not only the regular SemVer version string (e.g. “1.4.2-dev”) but also the git hash and sometimes branch name (e.g. “1.4.2-dev.hash123”). How do I realize this when it comes to modern Python packaging. IN that case there is a version string in the pyproje…

Have a look at GitHub - ofek/hatch-vcs: Hatch plugin for versioning with your preferred VCS (for hatchling) setuptools scm (for setuptools) GitHub - jwodder/versioningit: Versioning It with your Version In Git (for hatchling and setuptools) poetry-git-version-plugin · PyPI for Poetry Be aware tha…

I do this using Hatch, which has a hatch-vcs plugin which can construct the version string using that information (and more). It’s entirely configured within pyproject.toml, and if desired can also emit the version string into a source file although that’s not really necessary since the package’s ve…

Thanks for this tips. Can you point to one of your public repos using this?

F***** awesome. Just the pyproject.toml get me excited a lot. :smiley: Interesting what all could be achieved with it. Do you have a blog? You should write just about your packaging setup and all the little tiny helpers in there. I have so many questions. Don’t write only about that tools. We can r…

PBR (a SetupTools plugin and PEP-517 build backend) takes a different approach. Since Git commit IDs aren’t valid components of PEP-440 version strings, it automatically stores the hash in separate package metadata which can then be accessed easily at runtime, while auto-calculating a PEP-440 co…

Thanks for the kind words! No, I don’t have a blog, as I can never find the time to do it, but I follow many others in the Python community and much of what you see in that pyproject.toml was inspired by (or directly copied from) various projects owned by @hynek . You can look at his attrs project to…

setuptools-git-versioning is another mature option (we use it in Bokeh )

I’ve used setuptools-scm in my project sciform for this. The important parts of the pyproject.toml are [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=61.0", "setuptools_scm[toml]>=6.2"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] ... dynamic = ["version", ...] I forget exactly what is important u…

That sounds all great. What happens when distro maintainers taking over. For example Debian Python Team do use salsa (GitLab instance) to manage their packages including upstream code. Then setuptools-scm would read version info from a git repo that do not belong to upstream anymore. I am also awa…
