Determining The Pythonista Version (in code)

[Phuket2]

Is there away to determine the version of Pythonista in code. I have a feeling there is not. I did what I remember seeing @omz do once. Try to import a 1.6 only Pytonista module then do something from there on except.
I used dialogs, as I thought it would be a light one to dummy import even though I am not using dialogs. (Is there a better one to use, if we do it this way?)

I did attempt to search the forum, but as you can imagine, this one of the worst search terms to be looking for here.

try:
    import dialogs
except ImportError:
    exit('This script requires the dialogs module in Pythonista v1.6 or later.')

I do not know of any API call that allows you to determine the version of Pythonista at runtime.

@ccc, thanks. I did that but without the ImportError. Will change

Just trying (as above) definitely is the easiest and most pythonic way.
Alternatively, one could parse (with beautiful soup) the documentation file ~/Pythonista.app/Documentation/ios/new.html. For the App Store version, it contains

<h2>Version 1.5<a class="headerlink" href="#version-1-5" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

Awesome!
