The Python installer package for macOS is versioned, however, the included sub packages have no version information. This results in the receipts having no version. Many enterprise software management tools rely on the receipt information to determine whether something is present and whether it's due for an update. We use Munki, are are currently working around this issue, but ideally the subpackages would have the version info included.
