Add version to main page

[peterdudfield]

It would be great to show the version on the main page.

This can be done here and here

Should be able to import the package version with

from importlib.metadata import PackageNotFoundError, version

try:
    __version__ = version("pvnet-app")
except PackageNotFoundError:
    __version__ = "v?"

Hi @peterdudfield ,
I’m new to the Open Climate Fix codebase and would like to work on this issue as my first contribution.
It looks well-scoped and suitable for a beginner contributor.
Could you please assign it to me if it’s available for external contributors?

[peterdudfield]

Yes this is still welcome, unfortunately #372 did not solve it, see #385 for error message

[SaitejaKommi]

Thanks for the clarification. I see now that the repo isn’t structured as an installable Python package, which explains the setuptools failure in #385 . I’ll explore a version display approach that doesn’t rely on importlib.metadata.version() and works reliably in Docker/CI. I’ll follow up with a proposal before opening a PR.

Hi @peterdudfield Sorry for the delayed response — I had exams recently, so I couldn’t follow up earlier.

I’ve started fresh on this by re-forking the repo and reworking the solution cleanly. The version is now derived from git tags as discussed, and I’ve verified that everything is working locally and via Docker as well.

Thanks for your patience, and please let me know if you’d like any changes.
