Getting the metadata

>>> import libmineshaft # Automatically imports libmineshaft.__init__

>>> print(libmineshaft.__version__)
0.1.6rc-1 # this is the version in the current case, it will be different when you try it yourself

>>> print(libmineshaft.__author__)
Double Fractal Game Studios

>>> print(libmineshaft.__credits__)
Double Fractal Game Studios team:
*   Mayu Sakurai
*   Alexey Pavlov
