How to get version from pyproject.toml from python app?

See original GitHub issue

I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Question

I have a basic python app, and inside this app there’s a --version flag. I want to show the same version as I have in pyproject.toml, but without duplicating this information.

What should I do here? Thanks!

The pkg_resources module enables package information introspection. Here’s how it can be used to get the version of an installed package.

>>> import pkg_resources
>>> my_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution('my-package-name').version

You can now use importlib.metadata and its backport importlib_metadata: https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html#distribution-versions.

It has a convenient function importlib.metadata.version('my-distribution') that will return a str read from your pyproject.toml configuration.
