version on pypi has 'version'=='???'

It tries to use a 'version.txt' that is nonexistant.

This breaks setup.py files that require say "meta==0.4.1"

The pull request here solves it:
#20

Any chance of bumping the version by 0.0.1 and doing a release ?

meta-0.4.1 (2012-07-17)

The problem is inside, the package - if you download it from pypi and look inside setup.py:

try:
    version_str = open('version.txt').read()
except IOError as err:
    version_str = '???'

But there is no version.txt in that file, so version_str = '???' which confuses things when it installs.

The end result:

having a requirements.txt with meta==0.4.1 does not work (or didn't when I opened the ticket).

OK, just checked - it installs, but the version is weird afterwards:

I would suggest just using versioneer and calling it a day...

@srossross Thanks for sorting this, noticed this was sorted in 1.0.2 which went up Aug 17 2018.

Can finally put a version on my meta requirement :)
