The version string is straight from a standard binutils distribution.
Nothing has been done to modify it. It comes from this line in the
bfd Makefile:
./bfd/Makefile: bfd_version_string="\"$(VERSION).$${bfd_version_date}\"" ;\
So, no. I'd suggest modifying python. It pretty clearly doesn't adapt
correctly to a standard binutils version string.
