New submission from Anish Tambe: help(sys.version_info) suggests releaselevel is one among -
| releaselevel | 'alpha', 'beta', 'candidate', or 'release' Notice that the last one is 'release'. But the implementation says current value is - 'final'. $ python Python 2.7.12 (default, Oct 11 2016, 05:24:00) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.38)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.version_info sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=12, releaselevel='final', serial=0) >>> $ python3 Python 3.5.2 (default, Oct 11 2016, 05:05:28) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.38)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.version_info sys.version_info(major=3, minor=5, micro=2, releaselevel='final', serial=0) >>> The documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.version_info or Doc/library/sys.rst) agrees with the implementation. The tests also agree with the implementation. grep for releaselevel and see - Lib/test/test_sys.py:504: self.assertIn(vi.releaselevel, ("alpha", "beta", "candidate", "final")) Hence, submitting a patch to change the help documentaion to reflect the correct value for releaselevel. [Motivation - I tried to print a warning to the user in case my app was not being run on a final release, and I tried to do that by equating releaselevel with 'release' as the help suggested.] ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: releaselevel.patch keywords: patch messages: 280071 nosy: anish.tambe, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sys.version_info.releaselevel - 'final' or 'release' versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45356/releaselevel.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28616> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
