Installation

pip install version_get

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/cumulus13/version_get.git
cd version_get
pip install -e .

Quick Start

As a Python Module

from version_get import VersionGet

# Initialize (auto-detects version file)
vg = VersionGet() # or vg = VersionGet('/projects/myap')

# Get current version
print(vg.get())  # Output: 1.0.0

# Increment version
vg.increment_major()  # 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0
vg.increment_minor()  # 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0
vg.increment_patch()  # 2.1.0 -> 2.1.1

# Set specific version
vg.set_version("3.0.0")

# Set suffixes
vg.set_alpha()  # 3.0.alpha
vg.set_beta()   # 3.0.beta
vg.set_dev()    # 3.0.dev

# Custom suffix
vg.set_suffix("rc1")  # 3.0.rc1

# Default path is parent directory but
# if version file is not exist then return to current directory

# Specify path
vg = VersionGet(path="/path/to/project")

# Create version file if missing
vg = VersionGet(create_if_missing=True)

Auto-reload

vg = VersionGet()
print(vg.get())  # 1.3.4

# Edit manual file → 2.0.0

vg.increment_patch()  # Auto reload → 2.0.0 → 2.0.1 ✓
print(vg.get())       # 2.0.1

vg = VersionGet()
print(vg.get())  # 1.3.4

# Edit manual file → 2.0.0

print(vg.get(True)) # 2.0.0

Manual-reload

vg = VersionGet()
print(vg.get())  # 1.3.4

# Edit manual file → 2.0.0

vg.reload()      # Reload dari file
print(vg.get())  # 2.0.0 ✓

Get from file directly

one-time check

vg = VersionGet()
print(vg.get())  # 1.3.4 (from memory)

# Edit manual file → 2.0.0

print(vg.get(from_file=True))  # 2.0.0 ✓ (langsung dari file)
print(vg.get())                # 2.0.0 (updated memory)

Disable Auto-reload (Optional)

vg.increment_patch(auto_reload=False)  # Just use memory``

### As a Command-Line Tool

```bash
# Show current version
version_get
vget  # Short alias

# Increment versions
version_get --increment-major  # x.0.0
version_get --increment-minor  # x.y.0
version_get --increment-patch  # x.y.z
version_get --auto-add         # Same as --increment-patch

# Decrement versions
version_get --decrement-major
version_get --decrement-minor
version_get --decrement-patch

# Set specific version
version_get --set 2.5.0

# Set suffixes
version_get --set-alpha
version_get --set-beta
version_get --set-dev
version_get --set-suffix rc1

# Specify project path
version_get --path /path/to/project

# Create version file if missing
version_get --create

# Quiet mode (only output version)
version_get --quiet
version_get -q

# Verbose mode
version_get --verbose

Supported Version File Names

The package automatically searches for these files (in priority order):

1. __version__.py
2. version.py
3. __VERSION__.py
4. VERSION.py
5. __VER__.py
6. __ver__.py
7. version
8. VERSION
9. __version__
10. __VERSION__
11. __VER__
12. __ver__
13. VER
14. ver

Version File Format

The package supports various version string formats:

# Standard formats
version = "1.0.0"
__version__ = "1.0.0"
VERSION = "1.0.0"

# With or without spaces
version="1.0.0"
version = "1.0.0"

# With suffixes
version = "1.0.alpha"
version = "1.0.beta"
version = "1.0.dev"
version = "1.0.rc1"

# Plain version files (no assignment)
1.0.0

Use in setup.py

from setuptools import setup
from version_get import VersionGet

# Get version from version file
vg = VersionGet()
version = vg.get()

setup(
    name='myproject',
    version=version,
    # ... other setup parameters
)

Or using the recommended approach:

import os
import re

def get_version():
    """Get version from __version__.py"""
    version_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '__version__.py')
    with open(version_file, 'r') as f:
        content = f.read()
        match = re.search(r'__version__\s*=\s*["\']([^"\']+)["\']', content)
        if match:
            return match.group(1)
    return "1.0.0"

setup(
    name='myproject',
    version=get_version(),
    # ... other setup parameters
)

Advanced Usage

Working with Different Paths

from version_get import VersionGet

# Auto-detect from current or parent directory
vg = VersionGet()

# Specify directory
vg = VersionGet(path="/path/to/project")

# Specify exact file
vg = VersionGet(path="/path/to/project/__version__.py")

Path Resolution

The package uses intelligent path resolution:

1. If path is provided, use that path
2. Check current working directory
3. Check caller's directory (using inspect)
4. Check parent of current directory
5. Default to current directory

Version Manipulation

vg = VersionGet()

# Current: 1.2.3
vg.increment_major()  # -> 2.0.0
vg.increment_minor()  # -> 2.1.0
vg.increment_patch()  # -> 2.1.1

# Decrement (minimum 0)
vg.decrement_patch()  # -> 2.1.0
vg.decrement_minor()  # -> 2.0.0
vg.decrement_major()  # -> 1.0.0

# Set custom version
vg.set_version("3.5.7")

# Work with suffixes
vg.set_suffix("pre-release")  # -> 3.5.pre-release

String Representation

vg = VersionGet()

# Get as string
print(str(vg))  # Output: 1.0.0

# Repr shows more info
print(repr(vg))  # Output: VersionGet(version='1.0.0', file=/path/to/__version__.py)

Examples

Example 1: CI/CD Integration

# bump_version.py
from version_get import VersionGet

vg = VersionGet()
current = vg.get()
print(f"Current version: {current}")

# Bump patch version for releases
new_version = vg.increment_patch()
print(f"New version: {new_version}")

Example 2: Pre-release Management

from version_get import VersionGet

vg = VersionGet()

# Create alpha release
vg.set_alpha()
print(f"Alpha: {vg.get()}")  # 1.0.alpha

# Move to beta
vg.set_beta()
print(f"Beta: {vg.get()}")   # 1.0.beta

# Final release
vg.increment_patch()
print(f"Release: {vg.get()}") # 1.0.1

Example 3: Automated Versioning

# In your CI/CD pipeline
# For feature branches
version_get --increment-minor --set-dev

# For release candidates
version_get --increment-major --set-suffix rc1

# For production releases
version_get --increment-patch

Error Handling

The package includes robust error handling:

• File not found: Uses default version "1.0.0"
• Parse errors: Falls back to default version
• Write errors: Prints error message and returns False
• Invalid formats: Shows warning but attempts to proceed
