So I don't think recommending "pkgutil.get_distribution('elle').metadata['version']" as a way for packages to provide version information is good advice.
I want to make it clear that this section of the PEP is intended only to provide some choices and examples, not to be definitive. I've added this text:
This could be done in any number of ways, a few of which are outlined below. These are included for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be definitive, complete, or all-encompassing. Other approaches are possible, and some included below may have limitations that prevent their use in some situations.
Does that help? -Barry
