I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but :

If your trac plugin was done using entry points (as it says at
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/PluginDevelopment), this means
that you can
use the iter_entry_points API from pkg_resources: You will get a
EntryPoint object that contains a dist attribute, pointing to the
distribution infos.
