Derive project version using importlib

[ka28kumar]

Fixes #628

Using importlib to populate the version field in conf.py

[seifertm]

The doc build in the CI fails with the error importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for pytest-asyncio. Probably because pytest-asyncio isn't installed in the Python environment used to build the docs.

You could try adding it to the installed packages in .readthedocs.yaml and see if it fixes the issue.

python:
  install:
    - path: .
…

Updated .readthedocs.yaml.
On a side note, is there a way to validate something like this locally?
I have little experience with ReadTheDocs and I couldn't find anything on this.

You're raising a very good point. It's desirable that the process for building the docs in the CI is the same as locally.
At the moment, this is not the case, though. I'll create an issue for that.

Created #917 to track the build issue.
