utility lib to generate python package version infos from mercurial tags

Project description

This module is a simple drop-in to support setup.py in mercurial based projects.

Its supposed to generate version numbers from mercurials meta-data.

It uses 4 strategies to archive its task:

  1. try to directly ask hg for the meta-data

  2. try to infer it from the .hg_archival.txt file

  3. try to use the cache file if it exists

  4. try to read the version from the ‘PKG-INFO’ file sdists contain (this is a nasty abuse)

The most simple usage is:

from setuptools import setup
from hgdistver import get_version
setup(
    ...,
    version=get_version(),
    ...,
)

get_version takes the optional argument cachefile, which causes it to store the version info in a python script instead of abusing PKG-INFO from a sdist.
