How do I check which version of NumPy I'm using?

import numpy
numpy.version.version

---

>> import numpy
>> print numpy.__version__

---

From the command line, you can simply issue:

python -c "import numpy; print(numpy.version.version)"

Or:

python -c "import numpy; print(numpy.__version__)"

---

Run:

pip list

Should generate a list of packages. Scroll through to numpy.

...
nbpresent (3.0.2)
networkx (1.11)
nltk (3.2.2)
nose (1.3.7)
notebook (5.0.0)
numba (0.32.0+0.g139e4c6.dirty)
numexpr (2.6.2)
numpy (1.11.3) <--
numpydoc (0.6.0)
odo (0.5.0)
openpyxl (2.4.1)
pandas (0.20.1)
pandocfilters (1.4.1)
....

---

You can also check if your version is using MKL with:

import numpy
numpy.show_config()

---

You can try this:

pip show numpy

---

We can use pip freeze to get any Python package version without opening the Python shell.

pip freeze | grep 'numpy'

---

If you're using NumPy from the Anaconda distribution, then you can just do:

$ conda list | grep numpy
numpy     1.11.3     py35_0

This gives the Python version as well.

If you want something fancy, then use numexpr

It gives lot of information as you can see below:

In [692]: import numexpr

In [693]: numexpr.print_versions()
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Numexpr version:   2.6.2
NumPy version:     1.13.3
Python version:    3.6.3 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)|
                   (default, Oct 13 2017, 12:02:49)

You can get numpy version using Terminal or a Python code.

In a Terminal (bash) using Ubuntu:

pip list | grep numpy

In python 3.6.7, this code shows the numpy version:

import numpy
print (numpy.version.version)

If you insert this code in the file shownumpy.py, you can compile it:

python shownumpy.py

or

python3 shownumpy.py

I've got this output:

1.16.1

---

import numpy
print numpy.__version__

---

For Python 3.X print syntax:

python -c "import numpy; print (numpy.version.version)"

Or

python -c "import numpy; print(numpy.__version__)"

---

Just a slight solution change for checking the version of numpy with Python,

import numpy as np 
print("Numpy Version:",np.__version__)

Or,

import numpy as np
print("Numpy Version:",np.version.version)

My projects in PyCharm are currently running version

1.17.4

---

Simply

pip show numpy

and for pip3

pip3 show numpy

Works on both windows and linux. Should work on mac too if you are using pip.

---

In a Python shell:

>>> help()
help> numpy

---

For Windows

pip list | FINDSTR numpy

For Linux

pip list | grep numpy

---

Pure Python line that can be executed from the terminal (both 2.X and 3.X versions):

python -c "import numpy; print(numpy.version.version)"

If you are already inside Python, then:

import numpy
print(numpy.version.version)

---

It is good to know the version of numpy you run, but strictly speaking if you just need to have specific version on your system you can write like this:

pip install numpy==1.14.3 and this will install the version you need and uninstall other versions of numpy.
