I am trying to distribute a

I thought that I could do things in an opposite way as in C. Rather than
having the building system to create the config.h, I could import a
config.py in my setup.py and distribute it as a py_module along with the
script.
Do you have better solutions?
Yes. Use setuptools in your setup.py, and declare the version
there. Then, in your script, use:
from pkg_resources import require
my_version = require('MyProjectName')[0].version
Where 'MyProjectName' is whatever 'name=' argument you passed to
setup() in your setup.py.
