Hi Toni:

That is very strange. I just ran the following:

   % python3 -m venv .
   % bin/activate
   (v)% pip3 install -U pip  # get version 24.0
   (v)% pip3 install roundup
    Collecting roundup
      Downloading roundup-2.3.0.tar.gz (3.9 MB)

    Options:
     -v            print the Roundup version number and exit
     -h            print this text and exit
     -S            create or update configuration file and exit
     -C <fname>    use configuration file <fname>
    [...]


It works as expected. If I run (still in the venv):

  (v)% python3
  Python 3.8.10 (default, Nov 22 2023, 10:22:35)
  [GCC 9.4.0] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from roundup import __version__
  >>> __version__
  '2.3.0'
  >>> import sys
  >>> sys.modules['roundup']
  <module 'roundup' from '/[...]/develop/roundup/v/lib/python3.8/site-
packages/roundup/__init__.py'>

again works as expected and verifies that I am getting the roundup from the venv
and not from somewhere else on my system.

The __version__ variable in roundup/__init__.py is used by setup.py
to produce the version string in the published source tarball. So it's extremely
unlikely that __version__ was missing from the end of roundup/__init__py since it
would cause the build to fail.

How did you install Roundup 2.3.0? What OS are you running? What version of pip?

While the number of people using Roundup is not as large as I would like, saying
nobody uses it is incorrect.
