In fresh 0.5.1 sources sqlalchemy.__version__ shows 0.4.6, should be 0.5.1

[Former user]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download SQLAlchemy-0.5.1.tar.gz either from SourceForge or from Cheeseshop.
2. tar zxvf it

3. In ipython:

   In 1: import sys,os

   In 2: sys.path.append('/home/iz/soft/SQLAlchemy-0.5.1/lib/')

   In 3: import sqlalchemy

   In 4: sqlalchemy.version Out4: '0.4.6'

this is the natural behavior of setuptools. try instead:

sys.path.insert('/home/iz/soft/SQLAlchemy-0.5.1/lib/')

[Mike Bayer]

or rather

sys.path.insert(0, '/home/iz/soft/SQLAlchemy-0.5.1/lib/')
