Get current revision of Vray via Python

[simonbjork]

Is there a way to get the current revision of Vray for Modo using python? I can get the version of the kit, but that version is still the same as the release version 6 months ago.

The event log prints out the current reversion at start-up, but even if it's possible to parse that list it's a bit too hacky. I need to be able to add/remove features of a kit I'm working on based on the current revision.

By the way, I see no new nighlies since october for Vray for Modo?

So, you want the actual build number, which is 27773 for the latest nightly ?
Because the V-Ray for MODO version in the Event Log matches the Kit version, I always update both, they are now at 3.52.01.
At some point that will be switched to 3.60.01.

Yes exaclty, I want the build number. I'm working on a kit where I need to enable/disable features based on if they are availible or not. For example the kit uses render passes for vray standalone which was added in a nightly. Currently I can't get this info. Can I maybe query the number of arguments for a command as a workaround? I'll have a look.
