There is no standard way.  However many module authors do include soch
information, usually in an attribute named version or __version__, or
VERSION.  PIL uses the VERSION

import Image
print Image.VERSION

It looks like you have it installed incorrectly,   How did you install
it.  What platform/system are you on? 
PIL usually uses a PIL.pth file.  Does that exist?  Where? And what are
its contents?
