Bump versions in multiple files?

It would be nice to bump versions in multiple files. For example, in a package that uses pyproject.toml (and thus has the version stored there) and that also has the version stored in package/__init__.py. Maybe this could work by setting multiple filenames in version_variable?

It is an implementation suggestion.

I have an unusual case that might be worth thinking about in terms of how to support multiple files. The situation is that I have a single repository that contains both a python package and an R wrapper for that package. Since the two languages have different packaging requirements, the version number has to be specified in two places, i.e. pyproject.toml and DESCRIPTION.

I’m trying to switch to python-semantic-release now, but previously I was able to use the following bump2version configuration to keep these two versions in sync:

[bumpversion:file:wellmap/__init__.py]

[bumpversion:file:wellmapr/DESCRIPTION]
search = "Version: {current_version}"

The “search” setting is useful because DESCRIPTION also specifies dependency versions, and those should not be updated. It’d be great if python-semantic-release could support something similar (or if there’s already a way to do this that I overlooked).
