[Matplotlib-users] obtaining version info

2006-12-08 Thread belinda thom
Hi,

Perhaps I'm missing something really basic, but I can't figure out  
how to query pylab as to what version it is (the usual import foo,  
foo.__version doesn't work).

Advice appreciated.

I didn't see it either.  For questions like this, I recommend heading to
the #python channel on irc.freenode.net.  If you find out how, please
post.

I assume there must be a reason for this::

 import pylab
 pylab.__version__
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

That has always bothered me.
But of course you can::

 import matplotlib
 matplotlib.__version__
'0.87.7'

hth,
Alan Isaac

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.
