Debug

Known issues

deprecatedProject is inactive and no longer supported. Use alternatives like importlib.metadata or pkg_resources.

fix

Switch to importlib.metadata.version('your_package') or from importlib.metadata import version

affects: >=0.3.2

gotchaBefore v0.3.1, importing read_version could trigger a deprecation warning about distutils if setuptools was not imported first.

fix

Upgrade to v0.3.1+ or explicitly import setuptools before read_version: import setuptools; from read_version import read_version

affects: <0.3.1
