setuptools-git-version

Automatically set package version from Git.

Introduction

Instead of hardcoding the package version in setup.py like:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version='1.0',
    ...)

this package allows to extract it from the underlying Git repository:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version_format='{tag}.dev{commitcount}+{gitsha}',
    package_info='foobar/__pkg__.py',
    setup_requires=['setuptools-git-version'],
    ...)
