Getting app version from controllers

[cso...@gmail.com]

How do I get the version number of my application as defined in
setup.py from within one of my controllers or templates? Is it located
somewhere in the g variable perhaps?

Thanks in advance,
Carlo

you'll have to do:

import pkg_resources
dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution('MyPackageName')

And it'll be in some attribute there, not sure what.
