versioned.utils.encode_version(version: int | str | None) → str[source]¶

Normalize version input into standardized string format.

Converts various version inputs into a consistent string representation by removing leading zeros from numeric versions while preserving the special LATEST version identifier.

Parameters:: version – Version input - None, “LATEST”, integer, or zero-padded string
Returns:: Normalized version string (“LATEST” or numeric without leading zeros)

Examples:

encode_version(None)       # → "LATEST"
encode_version("LATEST")   # → "LATEST"
encode_version(1)          # → "1"
encode_version("000001")   # → "1"
encode_version(42)         # → "42"
