This document discusses how you can discover what the working version of MineSight® Grail is on your machine. The version can be used to ensure that you are running the correct library, or to make sure that you script is working with the correct library.
It is assumed that the reader has a rudimentary knowledge of Python and the MineSight® Grail scripting library.
The version is stored in the grail.version data member. You can access the version number with a simple little script like this,
If you do not wish to write a script you can take advantage of the -C option with the python.exe. This allows you to input a small script at the command line using the ";" as a line separator. Therefore our above script can be re-written as the following at the command prompt,
The version may also be used as a check in your script to ensure that the script is running with the correct version. You have the ability to read the major, minor and build numbers for the MineSight® Grail version. Those numbers are accessible via the following data members,
- grail.majversion
The major version of the MineSight® Grail library. The library is guaranteed to remain stable in its core implementation throughout a major version.

The minor version of a MineSight® Grail library. The library will gain and/or deprecate features only on each minor version.
- grail.patchversion
The patch version. Used to signify bug fixes that are applied to a minor version. No new enhancements or deprecations are applied from one patch version to the next.
All the above data is in integer format.
For example, assuming that your script is only capable of running with version 3.4 and greater MineSight® Grail libraries, then you could add the following lines to the top of your script to generate a ImportError if the version is incorrect,
