How to check the current version of numpy in the source code?

Question

I'd like to install nump 1.8 dev version. Where can I find the source and how can I check that's the correct version before installation.

I can't find the version number in the githbu repository here https://github.com/numpy/numpy

I'm trying to install the 1.8 dev version on Windows, but I don't know which source is the correct one

During building, the version is substituted into version.py from setup.py:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/setup.py:

MAJOR               = 1
MINOR               = 8
MICRO               = 0

VERSION             = '%d.%d.%d' % (MAJOR, MINOR, MICRO)

import numpy
print numpy.__version__

Like that maybe?

@siamii: Okay, then go to your Python install directory, to dist-packages/numpy, then open version.py. That's the way under ubuntu, if that file doesn't exist just search for numpy in your install directory.

setup.py contains:

MAJOR               = 1
MINOR               = 8
MICRO               = 0
ISRELEASED          = False
VERSION             = '%d.%d.%d' % (MAJOR, MINOR, MICRO)

So that source is for 1.8.0 (plus possible patches if that isn't updated with every commit).

If you use one of the tags, you can be sure you're getting exactly the right source code for a specific version.
