you mean `hawk.__version__`?

the problem with that is that it can be a circular dependency, since hawk needs requests to work and it could be uninstalled. If that's the case, we need to be extra careful, since depending on a module with unmet dependencies will just break things, and we wouldn't be able to run the setup.py.

But I agree, I would prefer to reuse the version number from there.
Do you have any suggestion on how to make this happen without dealing with the dependency problem?
