Put it in setup.py, then. If you absolutely must have a __version__
at runtime, use this to extract it from the installation metadata:
__version__ = pkg_resources.require('MyProject')[0].version
Mostly, though, I don't bother with having a __version__ in my
modules or packages any more, since you can just do the above if you
want to check the installed version of something.
