#
# Calculates the current version number by first checking output of “git describe”,
# modified to conform to PEP 386 versioning scheme.  If “git describe” fails
# (likely due to using release tarball rather than git working copy), then fall
# back on reading the contents of the RELEASE-VERSION file.
#
# Usage: Import in setup.py, and use result of get_version() as package version:
#
# from version import *
#
# setup(
#     ...
#     version=get_version(),
#     ...
# )
#
# Script will automatically update the RELEASE-VERSION file, if needed.
# Note that  RELEASE-VERSION file should *not* be checked into git; please add
# it to your top-level .gitignore file.
#
# You'll probably want to distribute the RELEASE-VERSION file in your
# sdist tarballs; to do this, just create a MANIFEST.in file that
# contains the following line:
#
#   include RELEASE-VERSION
#
