it's just a question of whether or not
the module in question exposes any kind of a version attribute. There's no standard, unfortunately. The most popular convention seems to be via an attribute called __version__, but I've also seen __VERSION__, VERSION, and
version.

Here's one more way:
import gmpy
gmpy.__version__
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

gmpy.version()
'1.12'

That's the nice thing about standards -- there are so many to choose from! =)

Thanks for pointing that out; I'll update my code.

bye
Philip
