Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I recommend to drop any specific guarantee of what the string looks like. 
Saying "svn info" is also going to be outdated soon, when the code becomes 
maintained in Mercurial.

Instead, the documentation should point to sys.version_info and the platform 
module for programmatic consumption, and explain that the string is meant for 
human readers.
