The .dev
is to show that this version has been merged to main but not yet published to PyPI.
Before publishing to PyPI we remove the .dev
.
I think the .dev
is just for (perhaps uncommon) situation in case there are people installing the package from source, and found bugs, and want to file bugs against it, we can find out exactly which version they're using.
If we always release after merging then perhaps the dev won't be needed.
Before publishing to PyPI we remove the .dev.
As stated in contributing, it's added after pushing to PyPI.
I'm proposing to remove this step from the CONTRIBUTING.rst
file for now.

Yes, and it's removed prior to publishing to it as well ("bump version (YYYY.MM) in pyproject.toml"). It still serves the purpose that @Mariatta describes in her comment.
The current
CONTRIBUTING.rst
tells to bump to a dev version after releasing:Is it really usefull? I don't contribute a lot to this repo and I don't feel it's usefull for me, but if it's usefull for you please tell.
@willingc I don't remember why it's here,
git log
tells it's me but I think I copy-pasted this sequence of tasks from way before me, mabe you gave it to me and you now better?
