rominf/poetry-version

Python library for extracting version from poetry pyproject.toml file

poetry-version (deprecated)

What to use instead

Now there is a better way to extract the version of the package.

Assuming your package is named mypackage:

import importlib.metadata

__version__ = importlib.metadata.version("mypackage")

This code should work as is if you are using Python >= 3.8.

For Python 3.6 and 3.7 you need to install a backport: https://pypi.org/project/importlib-metadata/
