 # libnvme

and also did upload to test pypi correctly https://test.pypi.org/project/libnvme-boris/1.13/

[glimchb]

need to check only this error

>>> import libnvme
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/glimcb/Dev/cto/libnvme/libnvme/__init__.py", line 8
    __version__ = @PROJECT_VERSION@
                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I wanted to do a release today. Do you think you get this sorted out in the next couple of hours? If not, it's not a real blocker. Maybe we can figure out to upload it afterwards somehow. Surely, we are not the first having this type of problems, where the release is just fine but the upload to PyPi doesn't work.

@igaw all fixed now. was too late in the night, so didn't test properly....

uv pip install --no-cache libnvme/dist/libnvme-1.12-cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64.whl

and

Python 3.12.8 (main, Jan 14 2025, 22:49:14) [Clang 19.1.6 ] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import libnvme
>>> libnvme.__version__
'1.12'
>>>

good to merge imho

Many thanks!
