Jason,
thanks for your kind reply.
I am afraid you are right, there is no standard way of getting package version
info within Python code before importing.
I will use an "ad-hoc" procedure using the statement hasattr(), however this
procedure has to be applied after importing (i.e. after initializing modules).
Regards, JP

All kaa modules have a version submodule that can be imported. It's a
bit roundabout, but it does work:
>>> import kaa.metadata
>>> print kaa.metadata.version.VERSION
0.7.4
kaa.metadata.version is a file version.py, VERSION is an object within
that whose __str__ method returns the stringified version.
dischi: this is a bit lame. I think we talked about this before. Can't
we have kaa.metadata.version be the version object? Does require having
the auto-generated version module be renamed to something else
(_version.py maybe) and explicitly have "from _version import *" in
the
modules' __init__.py (and rename VERSION to version).

It basically depends on the package. There is no standard way of doing
this. For kaa we have the version submodule. pygtk doesn't it another
way:
>>> import gobject
>>> gobject.pygtk_version
(2, 14, 2)
If python-gdata does not do something similar, you're likely out of
luck.
Cheers,
Jason.
