If it is OK for you to depend on an additional package, you could use
pkginfo in your conf.py like this:
import pkginfo
dist = pkginfo.Develop('.')
project = dist.name
release = dist.version
...
You'd have to adapt the path passed to pkginfo.Develop if setup.py and
conf.py don't live in the same directory.

The setuptools command provided by sphinx doesn't currently make use of
the metadata provided by setup.py. I've been thinking about making it do
so, but maybe it would be even better to have something like the above in
sphinx's core, so it might also be used when building the docs in a
different way than by using the setuptools plugin.
