In a Twitter thread I just read, a Filipe said:

While versioneer is awesome it does not work with modern Python packaging standards. I'm moving all my projects to setuptools-scm.

https://pypi.org/project/setuptools-scm/

We should take a look.

I'd second using setuptools-scm - I'm using it on several projects with no problems. It's provided/supported by PyPa so is the 'official' solution. Also does not require adding implementation-code to your project like versioneer does.
