Version of a built `conda-forge` package is different between `pip list` and the `conda list` (it should be the same)

I recently added the package typepigeon to conda-forge. On conda-forge it is currently at version 1.0.9; however, when installing typepigeon via conda install, the output of pip list shows its version to be 0.0.0.post2.dev0+a27ab2a instead of 1.0.9.

conda list:

typepigeon                1.0.9              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge

pip list:

typepigeon         0.0.0.post2.dev0+a27ab2a

I think the issue arises from the way I am assigning the version (I am using dunamai to extract the Git tag as the version number). This version extraction is done within setup.py of typepigeon.

try:
    __version__ = Version.from_any_vcs().serialize()
except RuntimeError as error:
    warnings.warn(f'{error.__class__.__name__} - {error}')
    __version__ = '0.0.0'

When conda-forge builds the feedstock, I think it might be looking at the Git tag of the feedstock repository instead of the version from PyPI (as it is locally executing setup.py).

How can I modify the Conda Forge recipe to force the PyPI version?

I've figured out a solution; it might not be the best possible way to do this, but it works for my workflow.

I injected the version into the setup.py by looking for an environment variable (that I called __version__):

if '__version__' in os.environ:
    __version__ = os.environ['__version__']
else:
    from dunamai import Version

    try:
        __version__ = Version.from_any_vcs().serialize()
    except RuntimeError as error:
        warnings.warn(f'{error.__class__.__name__} - {error}')
        __version__ = '0.0.0'

Then, in the conda-forge recipe, I added an environment variable (__version__) to the build step:

build:
  noarch: python
  script: export __version__={{ version }} && {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv
