For example: ``` >>> import bs4 >>> bs4.__version__ '4.9.1' >>> importlib.metadata.metadata('bs4') PackageNotFoundError: bs4 ``` This is because the distribution calls itself 'beautifulsoup4' instead. The same goes for another package: `umap`, for which the distribution is called `umap-learn` This is the best I could come up with from reading the docs: import bs4 #<- This is the module we want the version of import importlib import sys from itertools import chain from pathlib import Path loaders = sys.meta_path target_path = Path(bs4.__file__) distros = list(chain(*(finder.find_distributions() for finder in loaders if hasattr(finder, 'find_distributions')))) distros_files = chain(*(f for f in (d.files for d in distros))) distro_files = [(d, d.locate_file(f)) for d in distros if d.files for f in d.files] matching = [d for d, f in distro_files if f == target_path] for match in matching: print("Found Version:", match.version) Steve
