I have a situation where I want to get the version of an egg that's
installed. I figured out the following, but wanted to know if I'm
missing something obvious that's easier::
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> p = pkg_resources.get_provider("cctagutils")
>>> for line in p.get_metadata_lines("PKG-INFO"):
... if line.find('Version: ') == 0:
... version = line.split()[-1]
Thanks,
Nathan
