Here is how I did it so far on a gentoo system. Your method for
checking the installed version will be different for a different
distribution. ver_match() pads the version strings to three digits per
so 2.4.1 would become 002.004.001-r000. "-r000" being the install
ebuild revision number. Then checks for a match in the ranges specified.
portagelib is our programs interface to the imported portage modules
(gentoo's package management system). I will most likely need to
modify the code to choose which version to use if both ranges are
installed. In gentoo I recommended that libglade-2.4.1 be masked due to
bugs and incompatibility with existing apps. I also recommended it be
slotted differently than current libglade-2 versions (which could mean
there may be up to 3 simultaneous libglade versions installed on the
system).

"""determine the libglade version installed

# determine glade version
versions = portagelib.get_installed("gnome-base/libglade")
if versions:
dprint(versions)
old, new = ver_match(versions, ["2.0.1","2.4.0-r99"],
["2.4.1","2.99.99"])
if old:
porthole_gladefile = "porthole.glade"
elif new:
porthole_gladefile = "porthole-new.glade"
else:
dprint("MAINWINDOW: No version list returned for libglade")
return None
dprint("MAINWINDOW: __init__(); glade file = %s" %porthole_gladefile)
