Yeah, that all makes sense. 90%+ of the time, checking the version number is a compatibility issue waiting to happen. For the other 10% (diagnostic logging), it would be nice to have a better option than running "cmd /c ver", but that might be the easiest thing to do. I'd want to remove any pretence that the returned version is a comparable number, and I'm not sure how easily we can do that without hurting compatibility... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
