Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

PEP-0396 (​http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0396/) specifies that module should specify a __version__ string.

For example, django.__version__ could return "1.7.0".

Django specifies version strings on django.VERSION as a tuple.

I have to point out that most Python projects do conform to that scheme instead of Django's.
It doesn't matter much though.

Summary: Module Version Information → Define django.__version__

Any objections to the attached patch?

But then we should put the django.utils.version.get_version import at the top of the file again, as it would be triggered by the import anyway. And you should also pass VERSION to get_version.

It's probably fine this way.
