<div dir="ltr">Hi, Phillip,<br>That works nice. Is there a way to derive 'MyPackageName' from the available metadata on the fly instead of hard-coding the package name within some python code inside the package itself? I ask because I want to keep things DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).<br>

Is there a recommended way to obtain version information of an executing application?<br>
For instance, if my application script wants to write a log message containing its own version, I'd like to get the version info stored in its PKG-INFO file.<br>
Hopefully, this runtime version info access method should work both in developer mode for apps installed with "setup.py develop" command, and when running them as eggs installed with easy_install script.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>

Something like pkg_resources.require('MyProjectName')[0].version should work.<br>
