Version in `_version.py` incorrect

[ThomasBur]

G'day, looks like there's an issue with the version being generated by setuptools when installing from the git repository.

It's creating versions starting with 0.1 instead of 0.7.

This makes it a lot harder to test its interaction with other libraries, as folium requires version 0.3.0 or higher.

When I was mistakenly using an outdated version of setuptools, I also got the message recommending: migrating from the deprecated setup_requires mechanism to pep517/518 and using a pyproject.toml to declare build dependencies which are reliably pre-installed before running the build tools

~Probably related to https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/pull/1922 as well. But needs to be fixed in the package itself, when building the docs is too late.~

Probably not related :)

I can't reproduce this issue.

First I upgrade the packages from requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt. Then I install Branca from git:

pip install git+https://github.com/python-visualization/branca.git

I get Successfully installed branca-0.7.2.dev6+g90579e9.

>>> import branca
>>> branca.__version__
'0.7.2.dev6+g90579e9'
>>> branca._version.__version__
'0.7.2.dev6+g90579e9'

I was investigating something similar in https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/pull/1922, there the issue was that the full commit history was not being fetched. In what environment are you having this issue?

[Conengmo]

@ThomasBur any news on this one, or is it okay to close?

[Conengmo]

I'll close this issue since I hope the issue was with the full commit history, not with something with Branca.
