.. data:: version
A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus additional
- information on the build number and compiler used. It has a value of the form
- ``'version (#build_number, build_date, build_time) [compiler]'``. The first
- three characters are used to identify the version in the installation
- directories (where appropriate on each platform). An example::
-
- >>> import sys
- >>> sys.version
- '1.5.2 (#0 Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)]'
+ 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.
