How to find the version of installed library in Python?

How can I find the version of clang installed on my system.

Link to clang lib: (click!)

I want functionality like:

if libclang.version < 3.4:  
    print('Clang version not supported.')

or some other logic so that I can find the version of clang.

There is no __version__ attribute in clang module. So I cannot do

if libclang.__version__ < 3.4
    print('Clang version not supported.')

from pkg_resources import get_distribution

if get_distribution('libclang-py3').version != '3.4.0':
    logging.error('clang version not supported')

get_distribution('pkg_name').version will return the version of the installed package, but this might not work in all cases.

If you're unable to get the version of any packages directly, you can execute

pip freeze | grep clang

in your script and in order to get execute this script, you can use subprocess module of python as mentioned below:

>>> import subprocess
>>> p = subprocess.Popen(["pip", "freeze", "|", "grep", "clang"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> p.communicate()[0].splitlines()
this will return all packages installed along with their packages and there you can have clang version.
