I'm trying to extract some version information from a DLL using python. I read this question: Python windows File Version attribute
It was helpful, but I also need to get the 'Assembly version' from the DLL. It's there when I right click and look on the versions tab, but not sure how I extract this with python.
On this page: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/get_dll_version.html
Tim Golden says:
You can use the slightly more messy language-dependent code in the demos which come with pywin32 to find the strings in the box beneath it.
Can someone point me to the example that might be useful? I looked in the win32api directories but there's nothing obvious. Would I find a solution there?
I'm not sure you can get at this information by using native code. The usual way of obtaining the assembly info is by running .Net code (e.g. C#). So I'm guessing in order to be able to do the same from python you'll need to run some .Net python interpreter. See for example http://pythonnet.github.io/
