To elaborate on the information given in the title, @sy is referring to the shell start text. More specifically, they are raising a grammatical issue with `sys.version` where there are two spaces between the shortened month form and the date (on my build this is `Sep  5`).

This is not a problem with IDLE and I doubt this is an issue generally, but is it worth nosying Lukasz? (I presume he is the person to ask?)

>>> sys.version
'3.10.0a1 (tags/v3.10.0a1:8e9afaf, Oct  5 2020, 20:32:52) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)]'

I am guessing that the template is leaving spaces for 2 digits.  Intentional?  I see the same thing in local repository debug builds.

Pablo is the release manager for 3.10/11.

I just confirmed (compiling the master having changed the system date) that this double space does not occur when the date is double-digits (`Oct 10`), suggesting that this is almost certainly intentional.

For reference, this comes from https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e42b705188271da108de42b55d9344642170aa2b/Modules/getbuildinfo.c#L45-L46
and is set by the compiler `__DATE__` macro. 

GCC documentation says:

> If the day of the month is less than 10, it is padded with a space on the left.

and MSVC documentation says:

> The first character of date dd is a space if the value is less than 10. This macro is always defined.


So I think we can close this as working-as-intended.
