I installed psycopg2 on my Ubuntu Natty machine using apt-get. Now, I would like to know its version number. Can someone tell what the method to find version number for such python packages is.

Since you installed it with the package manager, you can get the version from the command line with this command:

dpkg -s psycopg2

Alternatively you can get the version from using pip, if you have that installed

pip freeze | grep psycopg2

Or just run a python command to tell you:

python -c "import psycopg2; print(psycopg2.__version__)"

Output examples:

λ > pip freeze | grep psycopg2
psycopg2==2.4.4

λ > python -c "import psycopg2; print(psycopg2.__version__)"
2.4.4 (dt dec pq3 ext)
