I've tried and it doesn't work which is very weird... It should
work... I guess is a some kind of bug there...

At my Ubuntu Lucid version (Orca=2.30.2) this work for me:
version=$(python -c "import orca.platform ; print
orca.platform.version") ; echo $version

But now 'orca.platform' was moved to 'orca.orca_platform' because this
was called from 'orca.py' as 'platform' but there is already another
Python module from the system with that name.
I tried with the master version and didn't work... I should be something like:
version=$(python -c "import orca.orca_platform ; print
orca.orca_platform.version") ; echo $version
But is not working for me :-/

I guess something was missing with the platform rename, but I'm not sure yet.

Anyways, the variable you're looking for is 'version' from
.../orca/orca_platform.py
I hope this caould help.
