Yes, that's exactly what the module I wrote for my company's internal use does. The official version number is hard-coded into setup.py. My setup.py opens my module's __init__.py, and patches the line that starts with "__version__ = ". I can see that this approach is one of several suggested approaches described in the Python packaging guide. If I'm going to work with a package that eventually ends up on PyPI, I want to make sure that I don't do something unexpected or fragile. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
