Get the Python Tornado version

How do I get the current version of my Python Tornado module version?

With other packages I can do the following:

print <modulename>.__version__

Solution

  • Tornado has both tornado.version, which is a string for human consumption (currently "4.2"), and tornado.version_info, which is a numeric tuple that is better for programmatic comparisons (currently (4, 2, 0, 0)). The fourth value of version_info will be negative for betas and other pre-releases.
