+#
+# To use this script, simply import it your setup.py file, and use the

+#     .
+#     .
+#     .

+#
+# This will automatically update the RELEASE-VERSION file, if
+# necessary.  Note that the RELEASE-VERSION file should *not* be
+# checked into git; please add it to your top-level .gitignore file.
+#
+# You'll probably want to distribute the RELEASE-VERSION file in your
