Update pcmdi_metrics/version.py

[msahn]

It seem that the latest version of PMP is 3.0.2, but the version in pcmdi_metrics/version.py is 3.0.1. I think it should be updated.

@msahn nice catch! I think this file is just automatically generated after each install. If that is true, we may just remove version.py from the repository. Otherwise, yes, I will update it to 3.0.2. @acordonez do you have any idea?

[acordonez]

I think the release version is supposed to be updated in setup.py L14. I don't know that we currently use version.py for anything.

@acordonez thank you for your comment. Any chance the conda release of conda feedstock will need the version.py file? Or they also refer to setup.py or something else?

[acordonez]

@lee1043 the conda release does not need version.py. It uses setup.py.

[acordonez]

@lee1043 Also noticing that version.py seems to get created when setup.py is run (L42-L46), so if we delete version.py we should also edit setup.py to remove those lines.

[lee1043]

@acordonez thanks for checking. I tested installing via setup.py after removing version.py and observed it generates version.py.

The version.py records version and identification of the last commit (git_sha1), which I guess for developers to track during local testing (or it may have been used for nightly release) but since we don't see any use of the version.py I think we can edit setup.py to remove those lines, as you suggested.

I opened PR for this and will ping you for safety check once the PR is ready.

I found build test is failing in PR with below message:

So I will bring version.py back
