pylibversion 0.1.0

A library to help manage python library versions

pylibversion

A library to help manage versions in python libraries.

This package assumes that there is a main package with a __init__.py file with the VERSION defined as a tuple.

For example,

VERSION = (0, 0, 1)

Usage

String based version

You can add a string based version as described in (PEP 396)[https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0396/] to your __init__.py file or in other locations with the version_tuple_to_str function:

from pylibversion import version_tuple_to_str

VERSION = (0, 0, 1)
__version__ = version_tuple_to_str(VERSION)

Include the version in setup.py

You can lookup the module version to include in setup.py with the lookup_local_module_version function:

from pylibversion import lookup_local_module_version

...
setup(
    version=lookup_local_module_version(os.path.join("src", "module_name")),
    ...
)

Compare current version to what is published to PyPi

You can compare the current version to what is published in PyPi with the lookup_latest_version_in_pypi function:

def test_version_has_been_updated():
    module_name = "my_module"
    pypi_version = lookup_latest_version_in_pypi(module_name)
    my_version = my_module.__version__

    assert my_version != pypi_version
