access current revision number

Every time my Python application is run, it creates a log. I want to include in that log the revision number of the code that was executed. How can I do that?

I use Python 3.2, Windows TortoiseHg 2.2.2 with Mercurial 2.0.2.

If you are using setuptools to distribute your application/package, you can access the installed package version at run time using pkg_resources.get_distribution("my_package").version. However setuptools does not support automatic version tagging with mercurial revisions, so you will have to build your distributions with commands like:

python3 setup.py egg_info -b -$(hg heads --template "{node|short}" `hg branch`) sdist

or

python3 setup.py egg_info -b -$(hg heads --template "{node|short}" `hg branch`) setup
