A small library for keeping your version up-to-date easily & everywhere. The pain of having to update your setup.py, your Sphinx conf.py, your __init__.py & everything else on every release of your Python package sucks. By putting your version number in a top-level VERSION file & using this library, you can cut duplication & tedious manual work without having to lean on crazy import hacks.
