Please tag the release commits

From a packager viewpoint it would be great if you add git tags to the commits used for releasing a version on PyPI. For example, I need the test files corresponding to the released sdist.

Seems reasonable. Though I've never done it. Do you know how to do this/automate it? Interested in submitting a PR? Probably it should go in the automated build script action

Tagging / Releasing

Tag for a past release: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging.

 git tag -a  e7e32f7 v1.12.0
 git push origin v1.12.0

Or even easier, make a release using the button on the Website:

Automation

If I read your workflow correctly, you update PyPI on every push to the main branch changing _version.py. You could change that to a trigger when you make a new release
Along with that you could manage _version.py with setuptools_scm.

Thanks for the info!

It sounds like (unlike me) you are quite familiar with how all the python packaging stuff works. I was vaguely aware this repo uses an older version, but I never had time to dig into updating/upgrading it. If you are interested in making a Pull request that updates this, I'd be happy to merge it

Yes, that's right
