A Python 3.6+ command-line tool to manage `PEP-440 version-ids
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>`_ of dependent sub-projects
hosted in a *Git* **monorepo**\s, independently.

The key features are:

- **setuptools integration**,
- x2 **repo scheme**\s (**monorepo**, **mono-project**),
- configurable **version scheme**,
- *leaf* **release scheme**,
- intuitive **version-bump algebra** (TODO),
- configurable **engravings**.

The *leaf version scheme* feature departs from the logic of ref: *similar-tools*.
Specifically, when bumping the version of sub-project(s), this tool
adds **+2 tags and +1 commits**:

- one **Version tag** in-trunk like ``foo-proj-v0.1.0``,
- and another **Release tag** on a new **out-of-trunk commit** (leaf)
like ``foo-proj-r0.1.0`` (the new version-ids are **engrave**\d only
in this release-commit):

.. _static/leaf_commits.png
:align: center
:alt: Leaf-commits & version/release tags for the two repo's sub-projects

Leaf-commits & version/release-tags for the two sub-project's,
as shown in this repo's git history.

.. Note::
The reason for this feature is to allow exchange code across branches (for the
different sub-projects) without **engravings** getting in your way as
merge-conflicts.

Additional capabilities and utilities:

- It is still possible to use plain **version tags (vtags)** like ``v0.1.0``,
assuming you have a single project (called hereinafter a **mono-project**)

- A separate Python 2.7+ **polyversion** project, which contains API to extract
sub-project's version from past tags (provided as a separate subproject
so client programs do not get ``polyvers`` commands transitive dependencies).
The library functions as a **setuptools plugin**.

.. _usage:

Tutorial
========
Install the tool
----------------
And you get the ``polyvers`` command:

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install polyvers
...
$ polyvers --version
0.0.0
$ polyvers --help
...

$ polyvers status
polyvers: Neither `setup.py` nor `.polyvers(.json|.py|.salt)` config-files found!

.. Note::
Actually two projects are installed:

- **polyvers** cmd-line tool, for developing python **monorepo**\s,
- **polyversion**: the base python library used by projects developed
with *polyvers* tool, so that their sources can discover their subproject-version
on runtime from Git.


Prepare project
---------------
Assuming our **monorepo** project ``/monorepo.git/`` contains two sub-projects,
then you need enter the following configurations into your build files::

/monorepo.git/
+--setup.py # see below for contents
+--mainprog/__init__.py
| from polyversion import polyversion, polytime
| __version__ = polyversion()
| __updated__ = polytime()
| ...
|
+--core-lib/
+--setup.py: # like above
+--core/__init__.py # like above
+--...

.. Tip::
You may see different sample approaches for your setup-files by looking
into both `polyvers` & `polyversion` subprojects of this repo (because
they eat their own dog food).

The `polyversion` library function as a *setuptools* "plugin", and
adds a new ``setup()`` keyword ``polyversion = (bool | dict)``
(see func(`polyversion.init_plugin_kw`) for its content), which you can use it
like this:

.. code-block:: python

from setuptools import setup

setup(
project='myname',
version='' # omit (or None) to abort if cannot auto-version
polyversion={ # dict or bool
'version_scheme: 'mono-project',
... # See `polyversion.init_plugin_kw()` for more keys.
},
setup_requires=[..., 'polyversion'],
...
)

.. Hint::
The ``setup_requires=['polyvers']`` keyword (only available with *setuptools*,
and not *distutils*), enables the new ``polyversion=`` setup-keyword.

Alternatively, a subproject may use pep(`0518`) to pre-install `polyversion`
library *before* pip-installing or launching ``setup.py`` script.
To do that, add the ``pyproject.toml`` file below next to your `setup` script::

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel", "polyversion"]

and then you can simply import ``polyversion`` from your ``setup.py``:

.. code-block:: python

from setuptools import setup
from polyversion import polyversion

setup(
project='myname',
version=polyversion(mono_project=True) # version implied empty string.

.. Attention::
To properly install a pep(`0518`) project you need ``pip-v10+`` version.


Initialize `polyvers`
---------------------
...we let the tool auto-discover the mapping of *project folders ↔ project-names*
and create a `traitlets configuration YAML-file <https://traitlets.readthedocs.io>`_
named as ``/monorepo.git/.polyvers.py``:

.. code-block:: console

$ cd monorepo.git

$ polyvers init --monorepo
Created new config-file '.polyvers.yaml'.

$ cat .polyvers.yaml
...
PolyversCmd:
projects:
- pname: mainprog # name extracted from `setup.py`.
basepath: . # path discovered by the location of `setup.py`
- pname: core
basepath: core-lib
...

$ git add .polyvers.yaml
$ git commit -m 'add polyvers config-gile'

And now we can use the ``polyvers`` command to inspect the versions of all
sub-projects:

.. code-block:: console

$ polyvers status
- mainprog
- core

Indeed there are no tags in in git-history for the tool to derive and display
project-versions, so only project-names are shown. With ``--all`` option
more gets displayed:

.. code-block:: console

$ polyvers status -a
- pname: mainprog
basepath: .
gitver:
history: []
- pname: core
basepath: core-lib
gitver:
history: []

..where ``gitver`` would be the result of ``git-describe``.


Bump versions
-------------
We can now use tool to set the same version to all sub-projects:

.. code-block:: console

$ polyvers bump 0.0.0 -f noengraves # all projects implied, if no project-name given
00:52:06 |WARNI|polyvers.bumpcmd.BumpCmd|Ignored 1 errors while checking if at least one version-engraving happened:
ignored (--force=noengraves): CmdException: No version-engravings happened, bump aborted.
00:52:07 |NOTIC|polyvers.bumpcmd.BumpCmd|Bumped projects: mainprog-0.0.0 --> 0.0.0, core-0.0.0 --> 0.0.0

The ``--force=noengraves`` disables a safety check that requires at least one
file modification for **engrave**\ing the current version in the leaf "Release" commit
(see next step).

.. code-block:: console

$ polyvers status
- mainprog-v0.0.0
- core-v0.0.0

$ git lg # Ok, augmented `lg` output a bit here...HEAD --> UPPER branch.
COMMITS BRANCH TAGS REMARKS
======= ====== ==================== ========================================
O latest mainprog-r0.0.0 - x2 tags on "Release" leaf-commit
/ core-r0.0.0 outside-of-trunk (not in HEAD).
O MASTER mainprog-v0.0.0 - x2 tags on "Version" commit
| core-v0.0.0 for bumping both projects to v0.0.0
O - Previous commit, before version bump.

.. Hint::
Note the difference between ``ABC-v0.0.0`` vs ``ABC-r0.0.0`` tags.

In the source code, it's only the "release" commit that has **engrave**\d* version-ids:

.. code-block:: console

$ cat mainprog/mainprog/__init__.py # Untouched!
import polyvers

__title__ = "mainprog"
__version__ = polyvers.version('mainprog')
...

$ git checkout latest
$ cat mainprog/mainprog/__init__.py
import polyvers

__title__ = "mainprog"
__version__ = '0.0.0'
...

$ git checkout - # to return to master.


Engrave version in the sources
------------------------------
Usually programs report their version somehow when run, e.g. with ```cmd --version``.
With *polyvers* we can derive the latest from the tags created in the previous step,
using a code like this, usually in the file ``/mainprog/mainprog/__init__.py:``:

.. code-block:: python

import polyvers

__title__ = "mainprog"
__version__ = polyvers.version('mainprog')
...

...and respectively ``/core-lib/core/__init__.py:``:

.. code-block:: python

__version__ = polyvers.version('core')



Bump sub-projects selectively
-----------------------------
Now let's add another dummy commit and then bump ONLY ONE sub-project:

.. code-block:: console

$ git commit --allow-empty -m "some head work"
$ polyvers bump ^1 mainprog
00:53:07 |NOTIC|polyvers.bumpcmd.BumpCmd|Bumped projects: mainprog-0.0.0 --> 0.0.1

$ git lg
COMMITS BRANCH TAGS REMARKS
======= ====== ==================== ========================================
O latest mainprog-r0.0.1.dev0 - The latest "Release" leaf-commit.
/ branch `latest` was reset non-ff.
O MASTER mainprog-v0.0.1.dev0 - The latest "Version" commit.
O - some head work
| O mainprog-r0.0.0 - Now it's obvious why "Release" commits
|/ core-r0.0.0 are called "leafs".
O mainprog-v0.0.0
| core-v0.0.0
O

$ git checkout latest
$ cat mainprog/mainprog/__init__.py
import polyvers

__title__ = "mainprog"
__version__ = '0.0.1.dev0'
...

$ cat core/core/__init__.py
import polyvers

__title__ = "core"
__version__ = '0.0.0+mainprog.0.0.1.dev0'
...
$ git checkout -

Notice how the the `"local" part of PEP-440
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#local-version-identifiers>`_ (statring with ``+...``)
is used by the engraved version of the **un-bumped** ``core`` project to signify
the correlated version of the **bumped** ``mainprog``. This trick is not necessary
for tags because they apply repo-wide, to all sub-projects.


.. _features:

Features
========
.. include:: <xhtml1-lat1.txt>
rubric::

PEP 440 version ids
While most versioning tools use `Semantic versioning
<http://semver.org/>`_, python's ``distutils`` native library
supports the quasi-superset, but more versatile, `PEP-440 version ids
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>`_, like that:

- Pre-releases: when working on new features::

X.YbN # Beta release
X.YrcN or X.YcN # Release Candidate
X.Y # Final release

- Post-release::

X.YaN.postM # Post-release of an alpha release
X.YrcN.postM # Post-release of a release candidate

- Dev-release::

X.YaN.devM # Developmental release of an alpha release
X.Y.postN.devM # Developmental release of a post-release

version-bump algebra
When bumping, the increment over the base-version can be specified with a
"relative version", which is a combination of pep(`0440`) segments and
one of these modifiers: ``+^~=``
See mod(`polyvers.vermath`) for more.

repo scheme
monorepo
mono-project
whether a git repo hosts a single or multiple subprojects

**Rational:**

When your single project succeeds, problems like these are known only too well:

Changes in **web-server** part depend on **core** features that cannot
go public because the "official" **wire-protocol** is freezed.

While downstream projects using **core** as a library complain about
its bloated transitive dependencies (asking why *flask* library is needed??).

So the time to "split the project" has come. But from **Lerna**:

|laquo|\ Splitting up large codebases into separate independently versioned packages
is extremely useful for code sharing. However, making changes across
many repositories is messy and difficult to track, and testing across repositories
gets complicated really fast.\ |Raquo|

So a *monorepo* [#]_ [#]_ is the solution.
But as `Yarn <https://yarnpkg.com/blog/2017/08/02/introducing-workspaces/>`_ put it:

|laquo|\ OTOH, splitting projects into their own folders is sometimes not enough.
Testing, managing dependencies, and publishing multiple packages quickly
gets complicated and many such projects adopt tools such as ...\ |Raquo|

*Polyvers* is such a tool.

.. [#] <https://medium.com/@maoberlehner/monorepos-in-the-wild-33c6eb246cb9
.. [#] http://www.drmaciver.com/2016/10/why-you-should-use-a-single-repository-for-all-your-companys-projects/

version scheme
the pattern for version-tags.
2x2 *versioning schemes* are pre-configured, for **mono-project** and
**monorepo** repositories, respectively:

- `v1.2.3` (and `r1.2.3` applied on **leaf commit**\s)
- `project-v1.2.3` (and `project-r1.2.3` for **leaf commit**\s)

release scheme
out-of-trunk commit
leaf commit
release tag
r-tag
version tag
v-tag
Even in single-project repos, sharing code across branches may cause
merge-conflicts due to the version-ids **engrave**\d" in the sources.
In **monorepo**\s, the versions proliferate, and so does the conflicts.

Contrary to ref: *similar-tools*, static version-ids are engraved only in out-of-trunk
(leaf) commits, and only when the sub-projects are released.
In-trunk code is never touched, and version-ids are reported, on runtime, based
on Git tags (like ``git-describe``), so they are always up-to-date.

engrave
engravings
the search-n-replace in files, to substitute the new version.
Default grep-like substitutions are included, which can be re-configured
in the ``.polyvers.yaml`` config file.

setuptools
setuptools plugin
setuptools integration
The `polyversion` library function as a *setuptools* "plugin", and
adds a new ``setup()`` keyword ``polyversion = (bool | dict)``
(see func(`polyversion.init_plugin_kw`) for its content).

bdist-check
When the ``setuptools:setup()`` keyword ``polyversion_check_bdist_enabled = True``
the **setuptools plugin** aborts any `bdist...` commands if they
are not run from **engrave**\d sources, (ie from an **r-tag**).

To enable this check without editing the sources, add the following into
your ``$CWD/setup.cfg`` file::

[global]
polyversion_check_bdist_enabled = true
...

Marking dependent versions across sub-projects
[TODO] When bumping the version of a sub-project the `"local" part of PEP-440
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#local-version-identifiers>`_
on all other the *dependent* sub-projects in the monorepo signify their relationship
at the time of the bump.

Lock release trains as "developmental"
[TODO] Specific branches can be selected always to be published into *PyPi* only as
`PEP-440's "Developmental" releases
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#developmental-releases>`_, meanining that
users need ``pip install --pre`` to install from such release-trains.
This is a safeguard to avoid accidentally landing half-baked code to users.

default version env-var
From which env-var to read a project's *version* if git cmd fail.
It does not override any value given as ``default_version`` keyword
for func(`polyversion.polyversion()`).
Also func(`polyversion.polytime()`) assumes keyword ``no_raise=True``
if such env-var is found.
[Default var-name: ``<pname>_VERSION``]

Other Features
- Highly configurable using `traitlets <https://traitlets.readthedocs.io>`_,
with sensible defaults; it should be possible to start using the tool
without any config file (see `init` cmd), or by adding one of the flags
``--monorepo``/``--mono-project`` in all commands, in the face of
conflicting tags.
- Always accurate version reported on runtime when run from git repos
(never again wonder with which version your experimental-data were produced).


Known Limitations, Drawbacks & Workarounds
------------------------------------------
.. TODO: epoch vermath, and update README

- PEP440 `Epoch` handling is not yet working.
- Version-bump's grammar is not yet as described in "GRAMMAR" section
of command's doc::

$ polyvers config desc --class BumpCmd
BumpCmd(_SubCmd)
----------------
Increase or set the version of project(s) to the (relative/absolute) version.
SYNTAX:
polyvers config desc [OPTIONS] <version> [<project>]...
- If no project(s) specified, increase the versions on all projects.
- Denied if version for some projects is backward-in-time (or has jumped parts?);
use --force if you might.
VERSION: - A version specifier, either ABSOLUTE, or RELATIVE to the current
version og each project:
- *ABSOLUTE* PEP-440 version samples:
- Pre-releases: when working on new features:
X.YbN # Beta release
X.YrcN or X.YcN # Release Candidate
X.Y # Final release
...

- (not related to this tool) In ``setup.py`` script, the kw-argument
``package_dir={'': <sub-dir>}`` arg is needed for `py_modules` to work
when packaging sub-projects (also useful with ``find_packages()``,
check this project's sources).
But ``<sub-dir>`` must be relative to launch cwd, or else,
``pip install -e <subdir>`` and/or ``python setup.py develop``
break.

- (not related to this tool) When building projects with ``python setup.py bdist_XXX``,
you have to clean up your build directory (e.g. ``python setup.py clean --all``)
or else, the distribution package will contain the sources from all previous
subprojects built. That applies also when rebuilding a project between versions.

- Installing directly from git-repos needs an engraved branch (e.g. ``latest``)::

pip install git+https://github.com/JRCSTU/polyvers@latest

If you still want to install non-engraved branhces (e.g. ``master``),
set the **default version env-var**; for example, since *polyvers* subproject
has not customized the name of its env-var, you may install the very latest
like this::

polyvers_VERSION=1.2.3 pip install git+https://github.com/JRCSTU/polyvers

.. Attention::
The version given in the env-var is irrelevant.
The installed version will still derive from git tags, and the local-part
from the actual git-commit.

- (not related to this tool) If you don't place a ``setup.py`` file at the root
of your git-repo (using ``package_dir`` argument to ``setup()`` function or
in ``find_packages()``, according to `setuptools-docs
<http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#id10>`_), then
in order to ``pip install git+https://...`` directly from remote URLs
you have to use `this official trick
<https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#vcs-support>`_.
For example, to install *polyversion* subproject::

pip install "git+https://github.com/JRCSTU/polyvers@latest#egg=polyversion&subdirectory=pvlib"

Notice that the quotes are needed to escape the ``&`` char from bash.
Respectively, use this to install from the very latest::

polyversion_VERSION=1.2.3 pip install git+https://github.com/JRCSTU/polyvers#egg=polyversion&subdirectory=pvlib"


- Set branch ``latest`` as default in GitHub to show **engrave**\d sub-project version-ids.

- See ref: *to-dos*.

TODOs
=====
- Parse ``git describe`` like `setuptools_scm plugin
<https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/setuptools_scm/#default-versioning-scheme>`_ does.

- Drop `pvcmd/pvtags.py`, and replace it with `polyversion`?

- Engravings: Not easy to extend!

- Configurable hooks - refactor **engravings** as one of them.
to run, for example, housekeeping commands on all subprojects like
``pip install -e <project>`` and immediately start working in "develop mode".

This would allow housekeeping commands and *validate tests*
before/after every bump::

## Pre-release hook
#
pytest tests


## Post-release hook
#
rm -r dist/* build/*;
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*whl -s

- Add top-level engrave glob-excludes.

- Use `astor <https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/astor/>`_ grafter.

- Refactor **version-bump algebra** to support a single modifier per segment
(see ``multivermath`` branch).

- Lock release-trains as "alpha/beta".., specific branches can be selected
Based on **version-bump algebra**), this will force users to always
use ``pip install --pre`` to fetch such release-trains.
This is a safeguard to avoid accidentally landing half-baked code to users.

- Retrofit `polyversion` library as a plugin of `polyvers` command.

- Function as plugin for other 3rd-party projects, bake a cookiecutter

- Check what happens with `no-commit`, e.g. to temporarily package a wheel.

- FIX: `git < 2.15.0` was buggy with multiple match-patterns in command::

git describe --match=... --match=...

Run ``polyversion -h`` fo help.
- Change: minor reordering when searching version from package-metadata.
- fix: add standalone ``bin/pvlib.run`` from last release.
- fix: :func:~polyversion()`/:func:~polytime()` are guessing ``basepath`` keyword
from the path of caller's top-package (not just from caller's fpath).


2018-07-04: polyversion-v0.2.0a2
================================
- Version `v0.2.0a0` not in pypi, consumed for standalone ``bin/pvlib.run``.
- Version `v0.2.0a1` were not finding sbling-dir versions if ``pip install git+...``,
and had not replaced all skip-bdist flags.


Features
--------

- Teach non-engraved projects how to retrieve polyversion when pip-installed:

- The functions func(`.polyversion.polyversion()`) & func(`polyversion..polytime()`)
now attempt to fetch version from package/site-package infos.
- And the function doing this func(`polyversion.pkg_metadata_version()`)
retrofitted to:

- search for `<pname-<version>.egg-info/PKG-INFO` in `baspath` sibling folder
(before searching PKG-INFO, METADATA in `basepath`),
- so now `basepath` always needed in `polyversion()/polytime()` functions
to locate sibling dir.


Breaking Changes
----------------

- Rename **setuptools** flag from ``skip_polyversion_check -->
polyversion_check_bdist_enabled`` to flip its default logic (not checking by
default), since non-engraved wheels install just fine now.
- Rename the keyword of ``polyversion()``/``polytime()`` functions from
``repo_path --> basepath`` to denote its importance for retrieving the version
of installed projects from sibling dirs inside ``PYTHONPATH/site-packages/``.


2018-06-29: polyversion-v0.1.1a3
================================
(change actually done in `v0.1.1a1`, just a fixes & doc-msg in `a2`)

- FIX: teach **setuptools plugin** about **default version env-var**.
Now can ``pip install git+https://some.git.repo/but-from/non-engraved-branch``.


2018-06-27: polyversion-v0.1.1a0
================================
- FEAT: Introduce configurable **default version env-var** to fall-back
to envvar(`<pname>_VERSION`) if it exists, in case of errors (e.g. no git).
The presence of such a variable also sets ``polytime(no_raise=True)``,
which now also support the ``pname`` and ``default_version_env_var`` kwds.


2018-06-06: polyvers-v0.1.0a1, polyversion-v0.1.0a7
===================================================
Mostly docs, combined release.

+ FEAT: reinstated **engravings** on ``_version.py``
(see previous release for rational).


2018-06-05: polyvers-v0.1.0a0, polyversion-v0.1.0a6: co2mpas-ready
==================================================================
+ FEAT: reinstated **engravings** on ``setup.py`` (dropped only for a while
in `2018-06-03: polyversion-v0.1.0a3: setuptools`_ ), since, assuming clients have adopted
the new **setuptools plugin** keyword, it is the `default_version` that
will be engraved, which is fine.

+ fix: report any version matched both from **v-tag**\s and **r-tag**'s.

+ fix: ``bump`` command does not engrave *egg*-related files.

+ ``polyversion`` command got a bit more civilized (with logging to explain
problems with related stacktraces.

+ dev: don't test building wheel on travis...too much fuzzz.


2018-06-05: polyversion-v0.1.0a5
================================
- Disable standalone-wheel hack from ``pvlib/setup.py`` and rely on
*setuptools* plugin even for *polyversion* ONCE MORE.
(but no need to update standalone, which is a wheel, unaffected by that)


2018-06-05: polyversion-v0.1.0a4
================================
Bugfixing `polyversion` (and generate a non-buggy standalone wheel):

- FIX `polyversion` where it ignored ``setup(default_version`` keyword.
(git(`6519a1ba`))
- fix: `polyversion` stop eating half of its own dog food: cannot reliably use
**setuptools plugin** for its installation. (git(`56a894cde`))
- Monkeypatching *distutils* for **bdist-check** was failing in *PY2*
due to being an "old class". (git(`1f72baec`))

- doc: fixed recommendation about how to bypass **bdist-check** to this:

...
You may bypass this check and create a package with non-engraved sources
(although it might not work correctly) by adding `skip_polyversion_check` option
in your ``$CWD/setup.cfg`` file, like this::

[global]
skip_polyversion_check = true
...


2018-06-03: polyversion-v0.1.0a3: *setuptools*
==============================================
- `v0.1.0a2`Canceled (like the previous 2), cannot release from r-tags because ``setup()``
reports version from v-tag.

- Q: Is a new setup-keyword needed ``--is-polyversion-release``?
- A: no, just search both.
- `v0.1.0a0` had been canceled for the same reason, but somewhere down the road,
the fix was reverted (**bdist-check** works for r-tag only).
- `v0.1.0a1` just marked that our ``setup.py`` files ate our dog food.

Breaking changes
-----------------
- Dropped all positional-arguments from func(`polyversion.polyversion()`);
was error-prone. They have all been converted to keyword-arguments.

- Renamed data in mod(`polyversion`)
(also applied for class(`polyvers.pvproject.Project()`))::

pvtag_frmt --> pvtag_format
vtag_frmt --> vtag_format

- Changed arguments in func(`polyversion.polyversion()`)
(affect also class(`polyvers.pvproject.Project()`))::

default --> default_version
tag_frmt --> tag_format
--> vprefixes (new)
--> is_release (new)

- REVERTED again the `0.0.2a9` default logic to raise when it version/time
cannot be derived. Now by default it raises, unless default-version or
``no_raise`` for func(`polyversion.polytime()`).

- Stopped engraving ``setup.py`` files ; clients should use *setuptools* plugin
to derive version for those files (see new features, below)).
For reference, this is the removed element from default class(`~Project`)'s
configuration (in YAML)::

globs: [setup.py]
grafts:
- regex: -|
(?xm)
\bversion
(\ *=\ *)
.+?(,
\ *[\n\r])+

- *polyversion* library searches both *v-tags* and *r-tags* (unless limited).
Previously, even checked-out on an *r-tag*, both ``polyversion`` command
and ``polyvers bump`` would ignore it, and report +1 from the *v-tag*!

Features
--------
- The `polyversion` library function as a *setuptools* "plugin", and
adds two new ``setup()`` keywords for deriving subproject versions
from PKG-INFO or git tags (see func(`polyversion.init_plugin_kw`)):

1. keyword: ``polyversion --> (bool | dict)``
When a dict, its keys roughly mimic those in func(`polyversion()`),
and can be used like this:

.. code-block:: python

from setuptools import setup

setup(
project='myname',
version='' # omit (or None) to abort if cannot auto-version
polyversion={ # dict or bool
'mono_project': True, # false by default
... # See `polyversion.init_plugin_kw()` for more keys.
},
setup_requires=[..., 'polyversion'],
...
)

2. keyword: ``skip_polyversion_check --> bool``
When true, disable **bdist-check**, when false (default),
any `bdist_*` (e.g. ``bdist_wheel``), commands will abort if not run
from a **release tag**.
You may bypass this check and create a package with non-engraved sources
(although it might not work correctly) by invoking the setup-script
from command-line like this::

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel --skip-polyversion-check

- `bump` cmd: engrave also non-bumped projects with their ``git describe``-derived
version (controlled by ``--BumpCmd.engrave_bumped_only`` flag).

- Assign names to engraves & grafts for readable printouts, and for refering to
them from the new `Project.enabled_engarves` list. (namengraves)

- ``polyversion -t`` command-line tool prints the full tag (not the version)
to make it easy to know if it is a v-tag or r-tag.

Documentation changes
---------------------

- Adopt `towncrier` for compiling CHANGES. So now each code change can describe
its change in the same commit, without conflicts. (towncrier)
- usage: explain how to set your projects pep(`0518`) ``pyproject.toml``
file & ``setup_requires`` keyword in ``setup.py`` in your script.
- add `pbr`, `incremental` and `Zest.release` in ref: *similar-tools* section
as *setuptools* plugins.
- re-wrote and shrinked opening section using glossary terms.

- Chore development:
- deps: don't pin `packaging==17.1`, any bigger +17 is fine for parsing
version correctly.


2018-05-24: 0.0.2a10: polyvers
==============================
- fix: slight change of default engraving for ``setup.py:version=...``.
- Remove default versions from the sources of our-own-dog-food
(affects installations for developing this tool).

importable standalone wheel in ``bin/pvlib.run``, generated from
``polyversion-0.0.2a9``, release below.
- doc: expand section for installing and contributing into this project.
- chore: tighten various test harnesses.

2018-05-24: 0.0.2a9: polyversion

Actually most changes happened in "interim" release `v0.0.2a2`, below.

- feat: make a standalone polyversion-lib wheel to facilitate bootstrap
when installing & building from sources (and the lib is not yet installed).
- Add ``bin/package.sh`` that create the `pvlib` wheel as executable ``dist/pvlib.run``.

and can automatically discover used configuration (from existing git *tags*
or projects files).
- Support both ``--monorepo`` and ``--mono-project`` configurations.
- By default ``__init__.py``, ``setup.py`` and ``README.rst`` files are engraved
with bumped version.
