Hi,
Perhaps I'm missing something really basic, but I can't figure out how to query pylab as to what version it is (the usual import <foo>, <foo>.__version doesn't work).
Advice appreciated.

I didn't see it either. For questions like this, I recommend heading to
the #python channel on irc.freenode.net. If you find out how, please
post.

I assume there must be a reason for this::
>>> import pylab
>>> pylab.__version__
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'
That has always bothered me.
But of course you can::
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__
'0.87.7'

After a little experimentation I have tentatively concluded that __version__ only gets imported if it is a package attribute--that is, if it is defined in __init__.py. Matplotlib is a package but pylab is just a module, so it does not seem to be possible to give it matplotlib's __version__. I could not find anything in the python documentation about this, though.
