poetry new is not using recommended pattern for __version__ variable

[polvoazul]

Closing this as importlib.metadata is the way to go. A possible pattern to support python <3.8 and >=3.8 I described here.

If this is the recommended solution, then poetry new should be updated to use it. Currently, the poetry new command adds __version__ to __init__.py, but then poetry version doesn't update it. This incompatibility between the two commands is confusing for me, and I imagine other newcomers.

Hello @polvoazul,

with poetry 1.2.0a1 poetry will not add any __version__ to the __init__.py. (#2768)
