Most packages have a .__version__ attribute in their top-level package dir which you can query. You do have to import the base package, though, in order to find out.

how to find out the version of a certain installed package
Hi, In a projecet I'm making using pycrypto, I need to find out the current installed version of pycrypto. After looking around, I found out that "pkg_resources.requires("pycrypto") will give me a string containing the version number, but is this the only way to do it or are there other ways? thanks, Christophe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
