How would you add that metadata to the version string (according to PEP > 440)?

One old-school way to do this would be to e.g. write a conf.py and a sphinx adapter for PEPs: https://github.com/python/peps And copy/paste with version strings at the end of filenames > > --Marcus > > > > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig > >
