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/
