Feature Request

Please consider adding a tuple version of libcloud.__version__, so library consumers would be able to easily do comparisons and so on. Compare sys.version (string) and sys.version_info (named tuple).

@danielshahaf Thanks for submitting this feature request.

This request seems reasonable to me.

Do you happen to know how other libraries handle that? Most of the libraries I'm aware of just set <package>.__version__ to the version string in the same way Libcloud does it.

Is there some common / preferred way of setting a version tuple, e.g. <package>.__version__tuple__ or similar?
