Automatically use the latest “vX.X.X” Git tag as version in your Python package.

It also supports getting the version from Python source distributions (sdist) or, once your package is installed, via importlib.metadata.

Add the following into yourpackage.py (or __init__.py):

.. code-block:: python

from get_version import get_version
__version__ = get_version(__file__)
del get_version
