I assume you meant: doesn't correctly parse the version number.

Could you provide a complete example formatted as Python string,
e.g. print repr(sys.version) ?!

Thanks,

print repr(sys_version)
returns
'2.6.1 (IronPython 2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.3603)'

The format of sys.version now start with a version number
2.6.1 (IronPythons  2.6.1 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 4.0.30319.1)
My guess is that with previous version of IronPython this was not the case

Do you want to work on a patch?

Eric,

Yes I like to.
But I am not familiar how to submit a patch.
The file that need to be patched is "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython
2.6\Lib\platform.py"  for IronPython 2.6.
I thought this file was maintained by Marc-Andre Lemburg
<mal@egenix.com based on the comment in the file platform.py.

It will affect IronPython 2.6 and  IronPython 2.6 For .Net 4.0 and
probably IronPython 2.7.

If you give me linsk to read about how to make a patch I would really
like to contribute to IronPython.

Thanks.
Fred.

This is the tracker for CPython, not IronPython, but I assume they synchronize their standard modules with ours, so I think this bug should be fixed here (not in 2.6 though, this old version only gets security fixes).

Guidelines for patches: http://www.python.org/dev/patches/

In short: check out the py3k branch, add a test that fails in Lib/test/test_platform.py (in the test_sys_version method), then patch the code to make the test pass.
