This must be a piece of a larger build process, the ".in" file is a
GNU Autoconf template,
copy __init__.py.in to __init__.py and put in the values for
things with @SOMETHING@

specifically:
__version__ = (@AT_SPI_MAJOR_VERSION@, @AT_SPI_MINOR_VERSION@,  
@AT_SPI_MICRO_VERSION@)

You might consider installing with your linux distro install tools  
(apt/rmp etc.)
