How might I discover which version of fabric I have installed – through the API?

I understand that I can just run

$ fab --version

but I’d rather be doing something like

>>> import fabric
>>> fabric.version
'1.4.1'

There’s the version submodule in fabric:

>>>import fabric.version
>>>fabric.version.get_version()
'1.2.2'
