In build 205 and later, there will be a pywin32.version.txt file installed
into site-packages.  For 204 and earlier there is no real way of knowing
other than the uninstall registry key.

You could get a clue from the version number in win32com\client\genpy.py -
'makepy_version' generally has changed for all releases.  You would have to
use CVS to find the exact number for each release though.
