To get the version in a program, you'd use a pkg_resources function. Which one... hmm... http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources How about... version = pkg_resources.get_distribution("Pylons").version If you want to compare one version to another, use .parsed_version | parse_version() instead, which provide a normalized tuple. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
