As expected by Marc-Andre: we need this information and so it has to be available somewhere else. I created #12794 to add platform.major(). I prefer to get the major version at runtime, not the major version used to build Python. I need the major version for Python tests: the tests checks features of the running system (kernel), not of the system used to build Python. @Marc-Andre Lemburg: If you still think that we need all information about the system used to build Python, please open another issue (or comment maybe #12794). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
