Generic _version file toplevel install

[derSeddy]

When using pip3 on debian 9 for installing this library, the file _version.py is installed to .local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/_version.py.
This is a very generic name and causes problems in a completely unrelated project of my company which has a _version.py file in it's own subfolder. import _version will import the wrong file for the project of my company.

We can probably fix the issue on our side, but is it intended to place a file with such a generic name in this prominent location? Would it be possible to install the library into a sub folder or change the name of the version file to be less generic?

This is solved in git head, while unreleased this requirement helps:

this was done in 5.0.7 be executing the change @jhermann mentioned (it should be something we can merge back into master when/if someone wants to take over day-to-day ownership)
