Support for Retrieving Project Version (Equivalent to poetry version)

[shoaibkhanz]

Question

Currently, uv version does not return the project version but instead returns the version of UV itself. In Poetry, we can use poetry version to retrieve the project’s version as defined in pyproject.toml. This is useful for dynamically tagging builds, such as appending dev versions in CI with git rev-parse --short $GITHUB_SHA.

here is an example one that is used with poetry, can something similar be achieved with uv or planned feature.

publish:
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      needs: test
      steps:
        - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        - name: Set up Python
          uses: actions/setup-python@v2
          with:
            python-version: '3.12'
        - name: Install Poetry
          run: |
            pip install poetry
        - name: Snapshot Version
          if: ${{ github.ref_type == 'branch' }}
          run: |
            VERSION=$(poetry version --short)
            poetry version "${VERSION}.dev0+$(git rev-parse --short "$GITHUB_SHA")"
        - name: Build and Publish Release
          env:
            POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_NEXUS_UPLOAD_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.NEXUS_USERNAME }}
            POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_NEXUS_UPLOAD_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.NEXUS_PASSWORD }}
          run: |
            poetry config repositories.nexus-upload https://nexus.abc.com/repository/pypi/
            poetry publish --build --repository="nexus-upload"
