Attaching a patch to edit mention of “build number” in library/sys. I also don’t understand “The first three characters are used to identify the version in the installation directories (where appropriate on each platform)”, maybe someone who does could enlighten me. If #5778 is rejected, the doc will need another update to mention that there may be a newline in sys.version. |

I recommend to drop any specific guarantee of what the string looks like. Saying "svn info" is also going to be outdated soon, when the code becomes maintained in Mercurial. Instead, the documentation should point to sys.version_info and the platform module for programmatic consumption, and explain that the string is meant for human readers. |

Yes, this is even better than my fix for #5778. Changed in r83358 to: A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus additional information on the build number and compiler used. This string is displayed when the interactive interpreter is started. Do not extract version information out of it, rather, use :data:`version_info` and the functions provided by the :mod:`platform` module. |

Is “The first three characters are used to identify the version in the installation directories (where appropriate on each platform)” clear for anyone but me? |

Ask yourself: what are the first three characters? If that's not clear, type sys.version[:3]. Is it still unclear what this is talking about? |

I think it meant that '3.2' is the string used for determining the /usr/lib/python3.2 directory name. |
