[Distutils] version_info

__version__ is semi-standard and version_info even less.  PEP 396
attempts to improve this but is not accepted yet.  Anyway if you want to
do comparisons (which I assume is the reason you want a version_info)
you can just use __version__ with the
distutils2.version.NormalizedVersion class.
