module 'xgi' has no attribute '__version__'

import xgi
xgi.__version__

yields module 'xgi' has no attribute '__version__'. It would be nice to support it.

That's a good point. There are two main ways to support version variables: hard-code them or make them increase automatically. The latter option is surprisingly hard because of how python packages work so I vote we hard code them.

However, this adds an item to the release check list...

This is a good idea! My thought is that we can add this code block (suggested in this thread) in __init__.py at the top level which will get the version specified in setuptools:

import pkg_resources
__version__ = pkg_resources.require("xgi")[0].version

I just tested it locally and verified that it works.

Nice, fine with me.

Good call! And good to know about this ;)
