The pdytools Module

Every deployed application is able to import the pdytools module. This enables the application to determine if it is running as a deployed application and, if necessary, to change its behaviour accordingly.

pdytools.hexversion

This is the version number of pdytools encoded as a single (non-zero) integer. The encoding used is the same as that used by sys.hexversion.

Deployed applications also follow the convention of other deployment tools of defining an attribute called frozen in the sys module.
