This is a package with common utilities that are used throughout MetaBrainz projects that use Python programming language.

Note that v1.18.* will be the last line of releases compatible with Python 2.

Please report issues at https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/BU.

You can include this line into a requirements.txt file:

git+https://github.com/metabrainz/brainzutils-python.git@<VERSION>

Replace <VERSION> with the tag that you want to reference. See https://github.com/metabrainz/brainzutils-python/releases.

For this project we are using semantic versioning. If you want to make a new release:

1. Create a new tag in git using the following format: v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>.

   git tag v1.x.0
   git push --tags
   

2. Create a release on GitHub based on that tag. Specify changes that were made. https://github.com/metabrainz/brainzutils-python/releases/new

When updating underlying dependencies keep in mind breaking changes that they might have. Update version of brainzutils-python accordingly.
