Review comment:
Consider using
[`pkgutil.get_data`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pkgutil.html) here:
```
import pkgutil
__version__ = (pkgutil.get_data(__name__, 'VERSION.txt') or
b'0.0.1+unknown').decode().strip()
```
pkgutil.get_data pretty much does what your LoadResource does, but it's
zip-safe. On the flip side, it returns `Optional[bytes]`, so we need a little
code to ensure there's a usable value if VERSION.txt is not found.
