Hi!
Thanks for sharing wile with the community as software libre!
I see the benefit of using setuptools_scm, but the way it's used right now breaks use from a tarball download, see:
# tar xf /usr/portage/distfiles/wile-0.3.1.tar.gz
# cd wile-0.3.1/
# /usr/bin/python2.7 setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.
For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj
Please consider git-am'ing this patch of mine for a fix. It works well over here, preserves the feature for ./setup.py sdist and heals tarball support.
Thanks and best
Sebastian
