What is the best way or PEP convention to document the versions of imported modules in single python scripts? Sometimes I have to use older scripts that does not run because of module incompatibility (for example the script was written using pandas 0.15.0 and matplotlib 1.3.0, and now I use pandas 0.18.1 and matplotlib 1.5.1). It would be great for example if the first part of the script would contain pandas (and other imported module's) version in comment, like:
"""my_script_version = '0.0.1'
pandas_version = '0.15.0'
matplotlib_version = '1.3.0'
other_imported_module_version = 'x.y.z'
"""
Or is there any official way to do this? Something like using some metadatas?
__version__ = '0.0.1'
__date__ = '2016-06-06'
__author__ = 'ragesz'
__pandas_version__ = '0.15.0'
__matplotlib_version__ = '1.3.0'
__other_imported_module_version__ = 'x.y.z'
Thank you!
PEP 518 has been accepted recently regarding your question.
Dependencies has to be stored in a specific file pyproject.toml
[build-system]
# Minimum requirements for the build system to execute.
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel"] # PEP 508 specifications.
PEP 508 specify syntax for the requirements.
