This renames the recommendation to
_version.py
, to avoid publishing the contents of "version.py" as externally visible API. Ideally, one should dofrom ._version import version as __version__
to follow common pratice; I could add that as an example if you'd like it. But, regardless, I think this is slightly nicer as a recommendation.Closes #575.
