From my experience in building all the pypi packages, I can confirm that a
significant number of packages (> 10 at least), fail to build[1] because
it cannot read a file (usually LICENSE.txt, version.txt, README.txt in the
sdist root) using __file__.
It is unfortunate that we have this mess.

Crap!
That didn't work either!

This must be because of some egg magic that I don't understand.
What I did was this (in premailer.py):
__version__ = open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
'version.txt')
).read().strip()
from pkg_resources import resource_string
__version__ = resource_string(__name__, 'version.txt').strip()
Make sure that you either list 'version.txt' in your setup() data_files
or else use include_package_data=True and a revision control system that
includes the version.txt file, or else the version.txt won't be included
in your sdists and eggs.
