Use pkg_resources to locate the VERSION file. #5

Closed ttung closed 6 years ago

This is apparently the canonical API to locate a file included in a package. The only downside is that it can only locate a file inside a package, so I moved VERSION inside the package.

Tested with:

  1. importing showit from a relative path.
  2. pip install -e, importing showit.
  3. python setup.py sdist, importing showit.

Whoops, forgot to add the moved VERSION file.
