getting Maya's version with python

[Panupat Chongstitwattana]

Is there a Python command I can use to get the version of Maya it's
running in? 2010, 2011, 2012 etc.

[Kurian O.S]

cmds.about() ?

This one seems to give me a pop up window. Is there a to get the
version into a string without the pop up?

from pymel import versions

versions.current()

Thanks!

I also found sys.argv[0] which contains the path to maya.exe. It
depends on where you install your Maya, but the default location will
have 2011, 2012 in the string we can check also.

cmds.about(version=true)

[Kurian O.S]

import maya.cmds as cmds

v = cmds.about(version=True)

print v

please check the about command help from maya you can get a lot of data from the help
