from qgis.utils import pluginMetadata
pluginMetadata('db_manager', 'version')
In (a rare) case it doesn't meet your needs (e.g. the plugin you examine
is not loaded), you can alternatively parse the metadata.txt file on
your own, using Pyton's configparser.ConfigParser

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Plugin version number
Hi Paul, I do not think it is supported now, but a workaround could be: - Add a variable 'version' with the plugin version number to your plugin class. - Then do: qgis.utils.plugins['your plugin name'].version You could even write a version() function that reads the version number from the metadata.txt to prevent redundancy. I wonder if there is another way though..

[QGIS-Developer] Plugin version number
Hi, It is possible to see the plugin version number (from the metadata file) when you open the manage plugins window and select a plugin. Is it possible to retrieve this version number using Python in the plugin itself? It's not really very important but I just want to be able to include it in messages; so for example, "You have successfully upgraded to version..." or being able to automatically include the version number in bug reporting. I did try an internet search but it just comes up with people looking for the version of Python rather than the actual version of the plugin itself.
