version.py missing from source on PyPI

I'm trying to build sqlalchemy-spanner on conda-forge from the source from PyPI. In our CI, I'm seeing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
    File "<pip-setuptools-caller>", line 34, in <module>
    File "/home/conda/feedstock_root/build_artifacts/sqlalchemy-spanner_1692018227156/work/setup.py", line 39, in <module>
      with open(VERSION_FILENAME) as f:
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/conda/feedstock_root/build_artifacts/sqlalchemy-spanner_1692018227156/work/version.py'
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I'm seeing this for 1.2.0 but I checked the source for 1.6.2 on PyPI and version.py appears still to be missing.

A solution for us is to build from source from GitHub but this is less convenient. It would be nice to have version.py included with the source on PyPI as well.

Just reporting that more than a year on, this is still a problem.
