Python package pre-release is painful

[pbarker]

All of your pypi packages are pre-releases. This means that anyone who imports your package using most of the major package managers needs to add the flag like --prerelease=allow

This is even the case if you are a sub-dependency of another project. It is confusing, verbose, and completely unnecessary. You can simply use 0.x.x to signify its not stable, pre-releases are explicitly for doing beta testing on a single new version, not a state the package should be kept in for 60 releases

Was having trouble installing. This issue helped me.

Had to add openmeter>=1.0.0b188 to my pyproject.toml and do
pip install --pre openmeter

yeah we just shouldn't be doing --pre openmeter every time it needs to be installed when its not a prerelease its just 0.x.x. release
