Friends,
I am quite a Python newbie. After googling several hours I would like to
consult you about any procedure to get the version info for Python packages
available for importing.
Seemingly such metadata (the package version) are only available using the
associated EGG file. However, I am not able to find a simple procedure to get
it. The modules distutils and pkgutil are not clearly useful. Only the external
package pkg_resources seems to have useful functions

After looking Freevo source and kaa-metadata, I could not find applicable
examples either.
How to find out the version of a package available for importing?
I am looking for such a procedure to be able to manage properly the several
versions of the package python-gdata (used by the youtube plugin). Google has
just released the version 1.2.0 and there are around a variety of versions
(1.0.9 for Ubuntu, 1.1.1 for Debian) within significant differences.
Regards, JP
