Could tito build --srpm --test bump setup.py version?

[praiskup]

There's a convenient logic to bump Python version for tito tag, though it would be very nice if we could dump the "pre-release" version into the Python version string.

Background story: I'm thinking about self-identifying copr-rpmbuild script in its logs; if some pre-release copr-rpmbuild is being run, it would be nice to dump into logs the full version, e.g. 0.69-1.git.4.6f7e09b instead of just 0.69.

We have the undocumented "templates" feature, I am using it here:

https://github.com/FrostyX/tracer/blob/master/rel-eng/templates/version.rb
https://github.com/FrostyX/tracer/blob/master/rel-eng/tito.props

but IIRC it is used when tagging, not when building. Maybe we can improve it.

The problem is that setup.py is added to the git archive tarball. And we don't want to modify it on the fly - or maybe, do we? But that would be precedent, even with the "spec file modifications" for build --test we only modify the spec file copy that is not archived in the underlying tarball.
