poetry-setuptools-scm-plugin 0.1.0

Poetry Plugin that uses setuptools-scm to determine version

Poetry Setuptools SCM Plugin

poetry-setuptools-scm-plugin is a Poetry plugin that uses setuptools_scm to extract a package version from git or Mercurial metadata.

Installation

Add the plugin to Poetry:

poetry self add poetry-setuptools-scm-plugin

Usage

To enable it in your Poetry-based project add the following to your pyproject.toml:

[tool.setuptools_scm]

With this the version specified in version of the tool.poetry section in pyproject.toml is ignored and the version derived by setuptools_scm is used instead. See its documentation on further configuration options.

[!NOTE] The Poetry team believes "that the version is one of the static metadata and the pyproject.toml is the single source of truth for it".

• poetry-version-plugin: This plugin allows to read the version either from a git tag or a version definition in an __init__.py file. To my latest knowledge it cannot derive dev-versions from git.
