But I think a plain, non-development >version, can be static.
Actually, my version number is a static assignment in __init__.py:
__version__ = '2.0.2'
and I just manually bump that with every release. I'd be just as happy to
bump it in setup.cfg (maybe more!) as long as there was an API that I could
add to __init__.py to assign it to my module's namespace, e.g. in
mypkg/__init__.py:
from distribute.resources import get_version
__version__ = get_version('mypkg')
I don't much care how that's spelled. The important things are:
* One place to bump version numbers
* Available from setup.py without importing from the package
* Available from the package's namespace
