.. py:class:: Version(versionPath, versionType)

   This is the Version class for generating objects
   that contain the methods for getting and dumping
   the python-interface or kernel versions of the
   ParaMonte library installation on the system.

       **Parameters**

           versionPath

               A string containing the path to either the
               ParaMonte kernel or interface version file.

           versionType

               A string containing the type of the version
               file. It can be one of the following values:

                   "interface"

                       implying the Python-interface version
                       number of the ParaMonte library.

                   "kernel"

                       implying the kernel-routines version
                       number of the ParaMonte library.

   .. method:: get(self)


      Get the Python-interface or kernel version of the
      ParaMonte library, in verbose format.

          **Parameters**

              None

          **Returns**

              None


   .. method:: dump(self)


      Dump **only the version number** of either
      the Python-interface or kernel of the
      ParaMonte library.

          **Parameters**

              None

          **Returns**

              None
