Can you fetch the version number from the code (e.g., how it's done in __init__.py)?

To get the version number in the right format, I can use something like
version = subprocess.check_output(['git', 'describe']).rstrip().decode().split('-')[0].split('v')[1]

But I'm not sure what release should be? Right now it just seems like its the three digit version number. Also can't tell where either of these are used at all so I'm not sure how to format them.

We have been using the following setup successfully (see e.g.
https://github.com/matthiasdiener/constantdict/blob/main/doc/conf.py):

• __init__.py defines __version__
• doc/conf.py then does:

from foobar import __version__

version = __version__
release = __version__
