Bug Description
launchpadlib is a library that other applications are coming to depend on. The API for launchpadlib itself is still in flux, with new APIs being added in each release.
It would be very useful to have a tuple of integers provided by launchpadlib that described the version. This way, depending applications could make intelligent decisions about whether they can work with a particular version of launchpadlib.
Note that this is a fairly standard practice among Python libraries. See bzrlib for an example of this being done well.

Just to be sure: you're talking about the Python API of launchpadlib itself (things like Launchpad. login_with) , right? Not launchpadlib's Python interface to the Launchpad web service, which is entirely determined by the documents Launchpad serves.
