I banged my head against this one for an hour (no experience with this library). In the end I realized that that the interface itself actually has the information you're looking for:

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
f5 = ManagementRoot('f501.domain.local', 'leonardo', 'asthmaticturtlesareslow')
f5.tmos_version

Result: 

>>> from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
>>> f5 = ManagementRoot('f501.domain.local', 'leonardo', 'asthmaticturtlesareslow')
>>> f5.tmos_version
u'12.1.2'
