Bug#1052606: python3-pyroute2: pyroute2.__version__ is "unknown"

[Nicolas Schier]

Package: python3-pyroute2
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

python3 -c 'from pyroute2 import __version__; print(__version)' returns
"unknown" instead of the pyroute2 version number. We need to determine
the actual pyroute2 version to determine how to handle some aspects of
its API.

When I add

Thanks for packaging pyroute2!!

Kind regards,

Hi,

I prepared a merge-request for fixing it (and adding a test to check
against bug revival):

https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/pyroute2/-/merge_requests/1

Might someone take a look at it?
Shall I set someone specific as reviewer on the MR?

Kind regards,
Nicolas
