Description: darcsver - generate version numbers from darcs revision control history
        =======================================================================
        
        What Does It Do
        ---------------
        
        Create files containing version numbers, based upon the latest darcs
        release tag.
        
        If your source tree is coming from darcs (i.e. it is in a darcs
        repository), this tool will determine the most recent release tag,
        count the patches that have been applied since then, and compute a
        version number to be written into _version.py (and optionally other
        version files). This version number will be available by doing:
        
        from your_package_name import __version__
        
        Source trees that do not come from darcs (e.g. release tarballs, nightly
        tarballs) and are not within a darcs repository should instead, come with a
        _version.py that was generated before the tarball was produced. In this case,
        this tool will quietly exit without modifying the existing _version.py .
        
        'release tags' are tags in the source repository that match the following
        regexp:
        
        ^your_package_name-(\d+)(\.(\d+)(\.(\d+))?)?((a|b|c|rc)(\d+))?
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        With easy_install:
        
        easy_install darcsver
        
        Alternative manual installation:
        
        tar -zxvf darcsver-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
        cd darcsver-X.Y.Z
        python setup.py install
        
        Where X.Y.Z is a version number.
        
        Alternative to make a specific package use darcsver without installing
        darcsver into the system:
        
        Put "setup_requires=['darcsver']" in the call to setup() in the
        package's setup.py file.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        There are two ways to use this: the command-line tool and the
        setuptools plugin.
        
        To use the command-line tool, execute it as:
        
        darcsver $PACKAGE_NAME $PATH_TO_VERSION_PY
        
        
        To use the setuptools plugin (which enables you to write "./setup.py
        darcsver" and which cleverly figures out where the _version.py file
        ought to go), you must first package your python module with
        `setup.py` and use setuptools.
        
        The former is well documented in the distutils manual:
        
        http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
        
        To use setuptools instead of distutils, just edit `setup.py` and
        change
        
        from distutils.core import setup
        
        to
        
        from setuptools import setup
