Will do. But wouldn't it make sense to be able to specify the version name in
this place to?

Just to make sure because I'm not 100% clear on this and I think I have have
come across conflicting information from different sources -- if my package is
named scikits.mlabwrap and scikits is a namespace package, setup.py will have
to look like so, right?
setup(name='sckits.mlabwrap', # rather than just 'mlabwrap'
namespace_packages=['scikits']
...
)
and then ``require(scikits.mlabwrap)[0].version`` will get me the version
number.
As a suggestion: I think that the ``namespace_packages`` example for the
ZoperInterface project at
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#namespace-packages> would
profit from adding the ``name=`` parameter, because it is not immediately
obvious whether it should include the namespace_package or not.

Thanks for all the info! I've tried to document the most important points
about setuptools for other scikits developers, if you or someone else who's
more knowledgable about setuptools wants to give some feedback (although it's
obviously still work in progress), here's the url:
<http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scikits/wiki/WikiStart#Scikitsuseofsetuptools>
Thanks again for your help,
cheers
