New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net>:

>>> import _struct
>>> _struct.__version__
b'0.3'

I would rather simply remove this since it is no longer exposed in struct.

Yes, it does cause problems in real life code: I have applications that keep 
track of versions of modules that they use and expect __version__ to be string 
if defined.

Same problem in _curses, but I have never used that module - just grepped the 
sources.
