Is there a way to determine which version of Maemo a Python app is running on from within Python? I've poked around using a few methods, but I haven't found any way other than determining the version of Python instead of Maemo.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm still very new to Python development.

Might not be the easiest/best way but...
Code:
os.popen('dpkg -l mp-fremantle*"').read()
Nokia-N900-02-8:~# dpkg -l mp-fremantle*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii mp-fremantle-g 3.2010.02-8
Version is there.

Oh and don't forget to import os

Actually, you could check the output of dpkg -l and check for specific packages.
The mp-fremantle is the first to be uninstalled if you break a dependency, so I wouldn't depend on that alone.

You can check the output of "osso-product-info" - for the OS version just run:
Code:
osso-product-info -q OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION

OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION doesn't give me results that look too useful, but OSSO_PRODUCT_NAME will work like a charm.

Thanks!

I could probably have been more specific, I was looking for the major release version of Maemo, not update version. Thanks for your help everyone.
