>From the setup file. It'd probably be a "best practice" for code that's "in development" in Subversion to have a setup.cfg that sets the right egg_info flags. Then, I suppose when you branch for a release you can take those options out of the release branch. That way, if you develop on the trunk, then a trunk checkout will always be properly tagged with the version. This would probably be good to add to the setuptools manual, too. Anybody up for writing a clearer explanation of that? :)
