Follow-up to #4299. While investigating version issues on RTD, I noticed that
setuptools_scm
allows configuring its behavior, and the customtry: ... except ...
clause can be replaced by settingfallback_version
. The advantage is that once we switch topyproject.toml
(for which we need to drop python 3.6), the changes are much more straightforward.cc @crusaderky
