hey, is there a way to store the python_distribution version argument in a file? in most python libraries one can do

import x

x.___version___

and i was thinking of not duplicating that information (existing setup.py-s were reading the version number from a module file)?

Yeah, via a small plugin hook if I understand your question correctly: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/plugins-setup-py

awesome, thank you ♥️
