A small library for keeping your version up-to-date easily & everywhere.
Project description
“””A version by any other name would be just as sweet.”””
A small library for keeping your version up-to-date easily & everywhere.
The pain of having to update your setup.py, your Sphinx conf.py, your __init__.py & everything else on every release of your Python package sucks. Make your life easier (& very semver!)
By putting your version number in a top-level VERSION file & using this library, you can cut duplication & tedious manual work without having to lean on crazy import hacks.
Inspired by crazy discussion with George Hickman (ghickman) at PyCon 2013.
Requirements
Python 2.5+
Usage
To start, first install rose (see below). Then, push your version number into it’s own file (typically called VERSION):
$ echo '1.0.0-beta' > VERSION
Update your setup.py to look like:
# ... import rose setup( name='your_package_name_here', # UPDATE THIS LINE! version=rose.load_version('VERSION'), # The usual follows...
Then update your __init__.py:
# Whatever is there, then... import os import rose # If you don't care about being cross-platform, you can just pass a simple # path instead. VERSION_FILE = os.path.join(os.path.dirname('VERSION')) __version__ = rose.build_version('your_package_name_here', rose.load_version(VERSION_FILE))
And if you’re documenting with Sphinx, you can update your conf.py with:
# ADD THIS! import rose RELEASE_VERSION = rose.load_version('../VERSION') SHORT_VERSION = RELEASE_VERSION.split('-')[0] # The version info for the project you're documenting, acts as replacement for # |version| and |release|, also used in various other places throughout the # built documents. # # The short X.Y version. version = SHORT_VERSION # The full version, including alpha/beta/rc tags. release = RELEASE_VERSION
Installation
Using pip, simply run:
pip install rose
