# Context:
USER: is it safe/sensible to put __version__ into `aider/__init__.py` and have setup.py import that to learn the version?
ASSISTANT: Yes, it is safe and sensible to put the `__version__` variable in `aider/__init__.py` and have `setup.py` import it to learn the version. This is a common practice in Python projects to maintain a single source of truth for the package version.
Here's how you can modify the `aider/__init__.py` and `setup.py` files:
```python
aider/__init__.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
=======
__version__ = "0.6.2"
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
```python
setup.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
import re
with open("README.md", "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
long_description = f.read()
long_description = re.sub(r"\n!\[.*\]\(.*\)", "", long_description)
long_description = re.sub(r"\n- \[.*\]\(#.*\)", "", long_description)
setup(
name="aider-chat",
version="0.6.2",
=======
from aider import __version__
with open("README.md", "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
long_description = f.read()
long_description = re.sub(r"\n!\[.*\]\(.*\)", "", long_description)
long_description = re.sub(r"\n- \[.*\]\(#.*\)", "", long_description)
setup(
name="aider-chat",
version=__version__,
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This way, you can maintain the version in `aider/__init__.py` and `setup.py` will always use the correct version.
