title: Determining version of easy_install/setuptools
body: <p>I'm trying to install couchapp, which uses easy_install - and is quite explicit in stating a particular version of easy_install/setuptools is needed: 0.6c6. I seem to have easy_install already on my Mac, but there's no command-line arguments to check the version. Instead of just installing a new version over the top, I'd like to see whether it's necessary first.</p>
  
  <p>So: Any pointers on how I can see what version of setuptools/easy_install I have installed on my machine?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not a Python developer, so I'm assuming this is a simple question. However, I've not found anything via Google or here on SOF.</p>
