Installation from sources fails about asn1tools HOT 7 CLOSED

Maybe this week-end, I will have time to work on this :)

What is the appropriate fix?

from asn1tools.

I think the purpose of using asn1tools.__version__ to specify the package's version in the setup function was to update only one place when bumping the version number but as the dependencies of the package may not be installed when the script is run it can't work (I think pip run the setup script to discover the package dependencies). The only solution for me is to specify the version as a string in the setup function. I can make a pull request if you want :)

A few more alternatives: https://packaging.python.org/guides/single-sourcing-package-version/

I prefer 1. as I can keep __version__ in __init__.py as the single source of the version in the package. Also, that's what pip does =) It's a bit verbose, but I can live with that.

Feel free to create a PR, hopefully based on 1.
