Single-sourcing the package version and deprecated pkg_resources #223

Closed damar-wicaksono closed 1 year ago

damar-wicaksono commented 1 year ago

Currently, the version of the package is single-sourced using pkg_resources mechanism in the top-level __init__.py module. Apparently, however, pkg_resources has been deprecated as an API.

A best practice to single-source the package version must, therefore, be adopted.

This issue has been resolved by PR #239.

The function version() from importlib.metadata is used to fetch the version value from setup.cfg at runtime.
