setuptools-vcs-version

Automatically sets package version from VCS. This is based on dunamai and inspired by better-setuptools-git-version.

Introduction

Instead of hard-coding the package version in setup.py like:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version='1.0',
    ...
)

this package allows to extract it from tags in the underlying most popular VCS repository:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version_config={
        "starting_version": "0.1.0",
        "version_style": {
            "style": "pep440",
            "metadata": True,
            "dirty": True,
        },
    },
    setup_requires=['setuptools-vcs-version'],
    ...
)

The tool uses the dunamai to render package version and thus supports most popular VCS and following version styles: pep440, semver, pvp . PEP440 is default and may be omitted. See more about dunamai features. If there are no any VCS, the version specified by starting_version will be used.

Note that the "v" prefix on the tag is required, unless you specify a different tag style with pattern in the version_config.
