Use importlib to set __version__ and bump to 0.4.0beta1#235
Merged
Conversation
Replace the hardcoded __version__ with importlib.metadata.version("pyDataverse") so the runtime reports the installed distribution version and raise a RuntimeError if the package isn't installed. Also update the project version to 0.4.0b1 in pyproject.toml to mark a pre-release.

We could use...
version = "0.4.0beta1"
... according to https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/#pre-release-spelling which says this:
"Pre-releases allow the additional spellings of alpha, beta, c, pre, and preview for a, b, rc, rc, and rc respectively. This allows versions such as 1.1alpha1, 1.1beta2, or 1.1c3 which normalize to 1.1a1, 1.1b2, and 1.1rc3. In every case the additional spelling should be considered equivalent to their normal forms."

I have just pushed the 0.4.0beta1 change
Update pyproject.toml: change the project version from 0.4.0b1 to 0.4.0beta1 to use an explicit 'beta' prerelease identifier for clarity.

This pull request updates the versioning approach for the
pyDataversepackage and makes related improvements to how the version is managed and reported. Instead of hardcoding the version in the codebase, it now dynamically retrieves the version from the installed package metadata, and the project version is updated to a beta release.Version management improvements:
__version__attribute inpyDataverse/__init__.pyis now dynamically set usingimportlib.metadata.version("pyDataverse"), ensuring it always reflects the installed package version. If the package is not installed, aRuntimeErroris raised. [1] [2]pyDataverse/__init__.pyis removed to avoid inconsistencies with the actual installed version.Project version update:
pyproject.tomlis updated from0.4.0to the beta release0.4.0beta1.
