AFAIK, __version__ with a string value is in common usage both
in modules and classes.

BTW, while we're at it: with the growing number of dependencies
between modules, packages and the Python lib version... how about
creating a standard to enable versioning in module/package imports ?

It would have to meet (at least) these requirements:

* import of a specific version

* alias of the unversioned name to the most recent version
  available

Thoughts ?
