Retrieve pyGIMLi version is 'untagged'

[Coastal0]

Problem description

I've just installed pyGIMLi via the windows installer to use with Anaconda (rather than WinPython). I wanted to check I had the right version installed by using pygimli._version(), which returns

import pygimli
pygimli.version()
0+untagged.1780.g86f2041 core: libgimli-0.9.7

Your environment

Windows 10
Python 3.6

print(pygimli.__version__)
0+untagged.1780.g86f2041

Installed via win binary (but had the same problem with wheels)

Hi @Coastal0, yes, we are aware of this. This is due to the current way of packaging on windows. @halbmy is working on a conda package for windows at the moment. Once that is up and running, there is no need to mix installers and wheels with conda and also the version tag will be transferred correctly. We can leave this issue open as a reminder.

The binary installers for Windows (wheels and msi) are now also undergoing the setup process so that the version numbers for both are ok now (currently 1.0.6). Note that I just replaced the binary installers on https://github.com/gimli-org/gimli/releases/latest after testing both msi and whl. Note that we are focussing on Python 3.6 only but could provide installers for Python 3.5 as well. We favor Anaconda (against which pyGIMLi is built) but WinPython should work as well. Python 2 support is dropped by now.

Next step is to provide conda packages for Windows (see #85) in the near future.
