Who is "we" in this sentence?
Are you saying that the Python.org binary releases here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-372/
for example don't print the same information as source releases? I
don't have either Windows or Mac and so cannot test it for myself.

Why is this important? Surely they won't be tested on their
understanding of the git tag information printed at startup. They can
just ignore the information.
If you are really going to push this idea that the information currently
printed at startup is confusing to beginners, then we can ask educators
like Raymond Hettinger and others who have been teaching Python for many
years and see what their experience has been.
But for what it is worth, in 15+ years of asking questions from
beginners on various mailing lists, I don't believe I have ever seen
anyone ask about that information. If it happens, it happens rarely.

And that information is currently printed at startup. |
