Versioneer is meant to simplify version tracking for the developer;
it supports a number of authoritative sources such as "git
describe" to determine the current version number. There are two
modes of operation:

- in developer mode, versioneer detects the version number
   dynamically. This is what you'll see if you use the (Git)
   repository sources.
- in install mode, the release version number is statically
   embedded. This is what you'll see if
   you download from PyPI.

Internally, these modes are realized by two different _version.py
files; the developer version is usually added to version control,
and the setuptools "build" and "sdist" steps are
intercepted to insert the static _version.py as needed.

In my experience, it Just Works with pybuild, so I wouldn't bother
with any special treatment; the versioneer.py source is public
domain, so you're not going to run into any licensing issues.


Cheers
Timo
