Hmm, I did this because I was just tired of forgetting to bump the
version in so many different places everytime I make a new build...

Oh, but it does..
My automated build scripts place the root of the source tree on the
PYTHONPATH so that both of these problems go away, without needing to
update the versions by hand everytime.

It's not elegant, and it's probably not right for packagers, but it
saves me a lot of time... suggestions welcome!

Cheers
