dulwich.contrib.release_robot module

Determine last version string from tags.

Alternate to Versioneer using Dulwich to sort tags by time from newest to oldest.

Copy the following into the package __init__.py module:

from dulwich.contrib.release_robot import get_current_version
__version__ = get_current_version()

This example assumes the tags have a leading “v” like “v0.3”, and that the .git folder is in a project folder that containts the package folder.

EG:

* project
|
* .git
|
+-* package
  |
  * __init__.py  <-- put __version__ here
dulwich.contrib.release_robot.get_current_version(projdir='.', pattern='[ a-zA-Z_\\-]*([\\d\\.]+[\\-\\w\\.]*)', logger=None)

Return the most recent tag, using an options regular expression pattern.

The default pattern will strip any characters preceding the first semantic version. EG: “Release-0.2.1-rc.1” will be come “0.2.1-rc.1”. If no match is found, then the most recent tag is return without modification.

Parameters:
  • projdir – path to .git
  • pattern – regular expression pattern with group that matches version
  • logger – a Python logging instance to capture exception
Returns:

tag matching first group in regular expression pattern
dulwich.contrib.release_robot.get_recent_tags(projdir='.')

Get list of tags in order from newest to oldest and their datetimes.

Parameters:projdir – path to .git
Returns:list of tags sorted by commit time from newest to oldest

Each tag in the list contains the tag name, commit time, commit id, author and any tag meta. If a tag isn’t annotated, then its tag meta is None. Otherwise the tag meta is a tuple containing the tag time, tag id and tag name. Time is in UTC.
