You have to import the package containing mummy and __init__ from the pythonpath ( which can be examined using the sys module and the sys.path attribute ). Then access __version__ as an attribute: mypack/ # package indicated by __init__.py mummy.py __init__.py mummy.py -------- import mypack # o.k. if accessible from pythonpath mypack.__version__ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
