Thank you. But what I want to know is how to get the version of Ollama and the version of ollama-python using ollama-python?

I retrieved the ollama-python versions using the following code:

from importlib import metadata
ollama_python_version = metadata.version('ollama')

But I haven't found a simple way to retrieve the Ollama version using ollama-python.
