[Biopython-dev] how to determine BioPython version number

Hi there. About a year ago a message was posted that suggested using
Martel.__version__ to determine that BioPython versio number. A
couple weeks ago the draft announcment for BioPython 1.51 said that
Martel is no longer included.
If Martel is no longer included, is there some other way for a program
to determine the version number of BioPython that is installed?
Tried searching for this, but found nothing relevant.

So I'm not the only person to have wondered about this. For now, I
can only suggest an ugly workarround:
import Martel
print Martel.__version__
Since Biopython 1.45, by convention the Martel version has been
incremented to match that of Biopython. Of course, in a few releases
time we probably won't be including Martel any more.

... we no longer include Martel/Mindy, and thus don't have
any dependence on mxTextTools.
