Put it in setup.py, then.  If you absolutely must have a __version__ 
at runtime, use this to extract it from the installation metadata:

     __version__ = pkg_resources.require('MyProject')[0].version

Mostly, though, I don't bother with having a __version__ in my 
modules or packages any more, since you can just do the above if you 
want to check the installed version of something.
