The unicodedata module provides access to the Unicode database that Python uses:

http://docs.python.org/2/library/unicodedata#unicodedata.unidata_version

Here are the versions of the database for Python 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.2.3, and 3.3.1:

    >>> unicodedata.unidata_version # 2.6.8
    '5.1.0'
    >>> unicodedata.unidata_version # 2.7.3
    '5.2.0'
    >>> unicodedata.unidata_version # 3.2.3
    '6.0.0'
    >>> unicodedata.unidata_version # 3.3.1
    '6.1.0'
