Title: fixed bug in setup.py where running from outside project dir would fail

If you run setup from outside the project directory it will fail on attempting to open the README, etc. files.

for eg.

python requests/setup.py install

now works because the full path name is used in reading the file. implement as a separate func since it is used three times.

this is a pretty common bug, but I see it a lot because of my deploy scripts
