__version__ doesn't work

[TomNicholas]

Currently trying to get the version of datatree interactively raises an AttributeError:

import datatree

datatree.__version__

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [2], in <cell line: 1>()
----> 1 datatree.__version__

AttributeError: module 'datatree' has no attribute '__version__'

That's weird because we do have code to set the version number in __init__.py.

You have to reinstall the package usually.

To clarify, setuptools-scm and versioneer only set the version number on installation. This is likely your issue.

Thanks @djhoese. I just tried reinstalling locally (pip install -e .) and that didn't work though 😕

Did you restart your jupyter kernel or whatever you are using? The error says "cell line" so I assume jupyter, spyder, or similar
