After a little experimentation I have tentatively concluded that __version__ only gets imported if it is a package attribute--that is, if it is defined in __init__.py. Matplotlib is a package but pylab is just a module, so it does not seem to be possible to give it matplotlib's __version__. I could not find anything in the python documentation about this, though.
