python ogr,如何从python获取已安装的GDAL / OGR版本？

How can I get the installed GDAL/OGR version from python?

I aware of the gdal-config program and are currently using the following:

In [3]: import commands

In [4]: commands.getoutput('gdal-config --version')

Out[4]: '1.7.2'

However, I suspect there is a way to do this using the python API itself. Any dice?

gdal.VersionInfo() does what I want:

>>> osgeo.gdal.VersionInfo()

'1604'

This works on both my Windows box and Ubuntu install. gdal.__version__ gives an error on my Windows installation, although it works on my Ubuntu installation:

>>> import osgeo.gdal

>>> print osgeo.gdal.__version__

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'
