fontTools.version.version is "unknown"

See original GitHub issue

I install fontTools by simply having fonttools/Lib on my sys.path (through a .pth file). fontTools.version.__version__ is “unknown” in my case. Am I doing something wrong?

I like to live dangerously and went the egg_info route. Thanks! Next up: not to forget to do that again whenever PKG-INFO gets updated 😦

BTW, egg_info is always run before the test command, so as a developer you will be running python setup.py test quite often. End-users in font production should install fonttools from the released distribution, so they get a well defined version string.
