Bug Description

Not really a bug, a feature request. Unless Nova was installed from packages, there's no way to tell what version of Nova is running on a particular installation. I can document how to use apt-tools to find the version from packages, but a flag file or something simple would be preferred.

I linked to a related blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/version-py

After this is merged to trunk (exists in lp:~anso/nova/deploy) it will be as easy as

from nova import version
print version.string()
print version.string_with_vcs()
