It's interesting to see the a Python 1.5.2 from April 1999 :) Thanks for your opinion, let me explain: We only print simplified message in official binary release, any Linux/private builds still using the current message. We know enough information about official binary release. Junior users are people such as students learning programming in middle school, I think git information will confuse them, maybe many of them will never know git knowledges. In recent versions, there is a "tags/" prepend to git tag, make the line longer. Just concatenating the string provided by git/compiler is a bit ugly IMO. Python 3.6.1 (v3.6.1:69c0db5, Mar 21 2017, 17:54:52) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Python 3.7.2 (tags/v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 23 2018, 23:09:28) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Another problem is indicating 32bit or 64bit build, IMHO this is an useful information. 64bit machine did not exist in 1999, but now there are many kinds platforms, desktop, IOT, Raspberry Pi. This seems another topic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
