Easily update version numbers across your project

Reversion is a command line tool to easily update version numbers in project files.

To install it:

pip install reversion

Python 3 is required.

To use it, create a config file reversion.toml in the root directory of your project. It should look like this:

currentversion = "0.1"

[[place]]
file = "reversion/__init__.py"
# linematch is a regex; use single quotes so you don't have to escape backslash
line-regex = '__version__'

[[place]]
file = "docs/conf.py"
line-regex = 'release'

Each [[place]] table indicates where a copy of the version number is found.

Then run:

reversion +0.1

To check the config file and version number places without changing anything, run:

reversion --check
