Installation: no .`version` file error when using `pip install -e .` instead of `python setup.py install`

I just forked the repo and wanted to install it. The doc indicates using

python setup.py install

but since Bilby doc indicates using

pip install -e .

which is also recommended by this post that's what I used.

In this case the .version file is not created and even though _version_helper.get_version_information() catches the FileNotFoundError, it still throws the following error when running:

$ python -c "import pesummary"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/marcarene/projects/python/pesummary/pesummary/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>
    __short_version__ = get_version_information(short=True)
  File "/Users/marcarene/projects/python/pesummary/pesummary/_version_helper.py", line 210, in get_version_information
    with open(version_file, "r") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/marcarene/projects/python/pesummary/pesummary/.version'

In _version_helper.get_version_information() I would simply swap

except NameError:
   pass

with

except NameError:
   return

which I checked to fix this issue.
