Solve version discrepancy in release

[TheGupta2012]

Issue

• Releasing v0.2.0 resulted in a version discrepancy -

>> python3 --version
Python 3.11.6

>> pip install pyqasm==0.2.0

import pyqasm
print(pyqasm.__version__)
'
0.2.0
0.2.1.dev0+g0fd2956.d20250214

It is unclear why this happened but one change might be the pip version used by cibuildwheel in GitHub runner. The release v0.2.0 used pip==25.0.1 whereas v0.1.0 used pip==24.3.1 on the runners.

Summary of changes

• To get reproducible results, have added _version.py in the repo and used the dynamic attribute in .toml to get the version (as in the qBraid SDK).

• This eliminates the dependency on setuptools_scm

Edit : 19 / 02 / 2025

• The version 0.2.1.dev0+g0fd2956.d20250214 matches the [4th option of Default Versioning Scheme in the docs] (https://setuptools-scm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/)
• This implies that there were uncommited changes in the repository during the build process
• Even though the commit 0fd2956 was tagged with v0.2.0, EOL changes might have happened due to the newly added .gitattributes file

Summary of changes

• Added git reset in the pre-build script to ensure that no uncommitted changes are passed into the build process
• Using no-guess-dev value for version_scheme to ensure that no dev suffixes are present in the version
