Description

Problem

python setup.py sdist produces source distribution with missing version information, version is set to 0.0.0. Running python setup.py --version also reports 0.0.0. This has to do with some sort of interaction between numpy.distutils and setuptools_scm, strangely when building a wheel, version information is populated correctly.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with python setup.py --version and python setup.py sdist, then compare their version handling with the wheel build. Inspect the interaction between numpy.distutils and setuptools_scm; done means source distributions and the version command report the actual project version instead of 0.0.0.
