Provide/document a way how to find out the current version of GitPython #311
Description
Activity
If GitPython was installed from Pypi, you can access version information like so:
import git git.__version__If a version from GitHub is used, the said variable will hold the value
gitthough, which would make it hard to make a decision unless one would be willing to assume it is the very latest dev version.Do you find this information helpful ?
Reacted by Santos GallegosSorry to join without being invited, but wouldn't if be possible with normal tools such as :
from distutils.version import LooseVersion, StrictVersion LooseVersion("2.3.1") < LooseVersion("10.1.2") StrictVersion("2.3.1") < StrictVersion("10.1.2")

on Mar 8, 2017 Agreed with #311 (comment), this just needs documentation
Because of the problem which I've described under 96c6ab4, I'd like to ask you to provide this information so that one can use the GitPython version to write a software which must be compatible with different GitPython versions.
