Get Version from version.py

[flywire]

Can from .version import __version__ work?

I'd like to report script version rather than package version.

Yes, you can get the version directly from the __version__ variable in the pipx.version module:

# Getting pipx version
from pipx.version import __version__

print(f"Script version: {__version__}")

However, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by script version as opposed to package version. Could you clarify that distinction?

I have a package with a version. The package consists of scripts in their own path containing a version.py file.

I want to get the package version, and the version of each of the scripts.

A you say, it works. I had a path issue.
