AttributeError: 'EntryPoint' object has no attribute 'version'

My pyproject.toml:

[project.scripts]
cve = "cvelib.cli:cli"

The EntryPoints class does not have a version attribute:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6260b6ae24e11b3d338c72f0391de442756e33ca/Lib/importlib/metadata/__init__.py#L250

This bug was probably introduced here:
b1c4695

Workaround is to explicitly call the --man-version option.

Option for a fix is to use the importlib.metadata.version() function instead:
