Hello,
I am preparing a package for distribution using distutils and when writing the
setup.py, i want to specific meta-data like version, author, maintainer ...etc.
My question is, assuming that I already have all of that information in the
package's __init__.py as __<meta-data>__ variables(*), is it considered good
'style' to import the module one is packaging, in the setup.py to access these
variables ?
cheers,
- steve
(*) can't find a reference for doing this in the docs, but I think doing this is
a pretty strong convention -- I've seen in most (all?) standard modules as well
as third party modules do this.
