[TriZPUG] Reference The Current Version Of Your Python Egg In Your Modules

[Josh Johnson]

So I've got an app. It's packaged as an egg. I want to do stuff like write
to the log file "starting MyApp version 1.2.3332". What's the best way to
store that information?

In the past I've set a 'constant' at the root of the egg, something like
APPVERSION, and I reference it as MyApp.APPVERSION. I just have to remember
to keep it in line with the version in setup.py.

Is there a better way?

Thanks,
JJ
