Steve Dower added the comment: Well __version is determined by looking at sys.version to see what version was used to build Python, so you aren't really getting the "actual" one, though in practice it doesn't matter.
For Python 3.5 and later you could get different versions from the one that was used to build, but it will always be at least 14.0 and there's deliberately no way for people to depend on that information other than in C source code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25250> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
