Having Google’d this a bit just now, it looks like packagename.__version__ is the de facto standard way in which Python packages encode their version numbers, and it is recorded as such in PEP8 (and PEP 396, though it is not an active PEP).

For the sake of avoiding having multiple ways to do the same thing, I suggest we advertise and document the use of lightkurve.__version__ as the way to get the version information.

Our current installation instructions in the online docs demonstrate how to use lightkurve.__version__ to verify what version of Lightkurve has been installed, so I believe this issue has been resolved! 🎉
