history
Project history and usage
Dunamai is a Python library and CLI for deriving standards-compliant version strings from version-control tags, aimed at CI builds, release tagging, and dynamic package versions.
Project history
Dunamai was created in 2019 by Michael Kennerly as an alternative in the dynamic-versioning space. Its README contrasts it with Versioneer, especially for projects that do not use setup.py or do not want generated versioning code committed into the repository.
The project broadened beyond Git-only workflows: official docs list support for Git, Mercurial, Darcs, Subversion, Bazaar, Fossil, and Pijul, and serialization styles including PEP 440, Semantic Versioning, and Haskell PVP.
Adoption history
Dunamai is distributed as a Python package, a command-line tool, a GitHub Action, and a Homebrew formula. Its most visible related adoption path is poetry-dynamic-versioning, another mtkennerly project that uses VCS tags to enable dynamic versioning in Poetry projects.
How it is used
Users call commands such as `dunamai from any` in CI or release scripts to produce versions from tags, commit distance, dirty state, branch names, and commit IDs. As a library, it exposes a Version object so build tools can inspect and serialize version parts.
Why package nerds care
Dunamai matters to package maintainers because dynamic version generation sits at the boundary between VCS history, build backends, Python packaging rules, and reproducible release artifacts. It is a small package, but it codifies a common maintainer desire: tag a release once and let packaging metadata follow.
