timestamp

Substituted by current timestamp with formatting it.

Example

• "{timestamp}"

• "{timestamp:%s}"

• "{timestamp:%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S}"

Options

You can pass 1 positional option to this substitution:

• Format (optional)

  Could be any format supported by stftime.

  • no format means %s (unix timestamp, e.g. 1641342388)

  • %Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S means current datetime like "2021-12-31T11-22-33"

  Note

  setuptools is removing all leading zeros (e.g. 00 in 1.001.002) to produce PEP 440 compliant version number.

  If you’re using datetime as your version number, you can get unexpected results like "2021.1.1" instead of "2021.01.01" because of such removal.

  So it is recommended to use timestamp either in local version part (git.sha in 1.2.3+git.sha) or to use just year number in public version (1.2.3).
