Hi all,

	I don't know if it's not there, or I'm just overlooking it, but
I can seem for a way in code to get the version of mod_python.  I have
some "default" modules I use, and I am trying to make them work with any
mod_python version.  Right now I'm doing try block, like such:

    # Get username/password from client
    pw = req.get_basic_auth_pw()
    try:
        # mod_python 2.x
        user = req.connection.user
    except:
        # mod_python 3.x
        user = req.user

	...but I'd rather be able to get the version directly.

Mike
