packaging questions

[Brian Blais]

Hello,

I am trying to package a number of python files, and I plan to use  
Mercurial to do the version control.  In more established projects  
that I see, I notice that there are a number of files, like  
Changelog, MANIFEST, INSTALL, etc... that would seem to be generated  
automatically.  Also, within the python code, and the setup.py, there  
are properties like __version__ which one would like to have  
generated automatically as well, so that you aren't hand-editing a  
number of files.

Is there a standard way of doing this?


		thanks,

			Brian Blais
