New submission from larkost: When getting the version of the Python interpreter with `python --version` the output is going to STDERR rather than STDOUT. This is non-standard behavior, and is surprising.
For example I was writing a dependency into a makefile, and this behavior caused me a good 5 minutes of debugging my script before I realized it was bad behavior on the command line. ---------- messages: 219896 nosy: larkost priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: version string printed on STDERR type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21681> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
