Nir Soffer: "I like the idea, may be also useful in https://github.com/sosreport/sos/blob/master/sos/plugins/python.py"

It's hard to guess which kinds of informations are needed. My use case is to debug failing tests on the Python CIs. Other use cases may want other kinds of information.

For example, my perf module also a "python3 -m perf collect_metadata" which has a similar goal but reads also information about the CPU: CPU configuration, model, temperature, etc. I don't think that these information are useful for Python tests.


Serhiy Storchaka: "Note that there are two versions: the version with which the interpreter is build, and the version of the dynamic library."

Sorry, version of what? The readline module has two versions, my proposed test.pythoninfo tool saves both. Depending on the failing test, you need one version or the other, or both.

The purpose of pythoninfo is to be able to log a long list of informations, without after to care if it is useful or not in general ;-)
