A tool to bump the version in setup.py in python projects

Bump-Setup

@readwithai - X - blog - machine-aided reading - 📖⚡️🖋️

A command-line tool to bump the version in-place in setup.py or pyproject.yaml for python projects. It can bump major, minor or patch versions.

Most of the value for this is dealing with setup.py. If you only use pyproject.yaml exclusively I might recommend creating your own script since this is a very straight forward task, but this code works.

Motivaiton

I got bored of bumping versions but hand so made this tool.

Alternatives and prior work

There is a tool called bumpversion which is quite similar but wants to take the files that get modified and also seems to want you to specify the file.

Installation

You can install bump-setup using pipx:

pip install bump-setup

Usage

To bump the version in setup.py, run the following command:

bump-setup <major|minor|patch>

Examples

bump-setup major  # Increments the major version
bump-setup minor  # Increments the minor version
bump-setup patch  # Increments the patch version

Attribution

This uses the python tree-sitter and tree-sitter-python libraries to modify and parse source code while leaving whitespace intact. I did some vibe coding because I am lazy. I'm not sure it helped much since I then had to fix a bunch of bugs by hand!

I am @readwithai. I create tools for reading, research and agency sometimes using the markdown editor Obsidian.

I also create a stream of tools that are related to carrying out my work. There are various python tools here.

I write about lots of things - including tools like this - on X. My blog is more about reading and research and agency.
