Respect __version__ when writing version file
nZac opened this issue · comments
pyp is only for packaging, it doesn't care what the app itself does with the version. If you want to make your app have a mymod.__version__ attribute that represents the version, you are welcome to do that. Example from keg-auth:
from keg_auth.version import VERSION as __VERSION__It's intentional that pyp only looks at the version.py file. From the pyp readme:
Make sure you are single-sourcing the version of the project using the same method as this project. See our setup.py and pyp/version.py.
This standard enables pyp to read ONLY the version.py which avoids any possible side effects from having to import the root application to get at it's __version__ attribute.
So, to be clear, you MUST use a version.py to use pyp. It's deliberate that pyp does not try and use mymod.__version__ to single-source the version string.
Unless I misunderstand the situation or our current methodology has adverse affects I'm not considering, this issue should be closed as a WON'T FIX.
