Get the deadline point version from scripting api

[kwatts]

In the scripting api docs i cant seem to find a method to get the point version of deadline that is running.
i can write an internal method to lookup the repo path and get the version from /settings/repository.ini .

But i figured id see if there was a way to get it out of the box

found it:
ClientUtils.GetDeadlineVersion()

i wish the search field in the api docs would find things correctly… typing in version only returns the function on the balancer

Nope, that only give me 2 decimal points , got excited there for a second.

is there a way to get the full 10...*

Check this thread:

identifying deadline version from python

Is there a way to identify the current version of deadline from within a job or the cpython environment running within deadline? An env variable or something like that? We have a few versions of deadline running parallel, and would like to keep jobs spawned by other jobs consistently in the right version. cheers laszlo

version = ClientUtils.ExecuteCommandAndGetOutput("GetVersion")
print("Deadline's version is {}".format(version))

>> Deadline's version is v10.0.10.4 Release (ffe5d2721)
