Vcversioner autodiscovers a Python project's version number using version control system tags. This allows developers to avoid duplicating version information between their VCS and their setup.py metadata.

When the package is built, vcversioner generates a version.txt file that can be used for release tarballs.

Currently, vcversioner supports the git and mercurial (hg) VCS.
