cv

Check version of a Python module.

Raises an error if the <module>.__version__:

• already present on PyPI or custom warehouse deployment;
• does not match PEP 440;
• or does not match specified type: alpha/beta/rc/dev/release.

All of this comes in handy during CI.

And one more thing: No runtime dependencies!

Installation

Available from PyPI:

pip install cv

Module Example

With a <module> present on PyPI and <module>.py in current directory:

__version__ = '7.7.7'

...

Simply run:

cv <module>

If 7.7.7 version of <module> is on PyPI already you’ll get a VersionExists error:

__main__.VersionExists: Package "<module>" with version "7.7.7" already exists on PyPI.
Change the "<module>.__version__" to fix this error.

Package Example

Packages work in the same way as modules except __version__ is defined in <module>/__init__.py
