First off, I like it.

Thanks. I'd strongly prefer the named-tuple approach, like version_info. The metadata attribute being a dict is fine (although the PEP doesn't actually call that out in "Required Values" section; I had to search to find out if it was actually a dict). I have some stuff I want to put in there already. I'm not really sure there's much value in having sys.version_info and sys.implementation.version be different, but I believe PyPy works that way, so I have no objection to it. They'll be the same in IronPython, though. Thanks for pushing this through. I'll probably add it the day after it's approved. - Jeff > > -eric > > > http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0421/ > _______________________________________________ > Ironpython-users mailing list > Ironpython-users@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
