This is important, since a package may well only support Python 2.5 starting with patch level release 2.5.2 and python_version only includes the major.minor version information.
I still like hex(sys.hexversion) for this. IIRC this is what the docs recommend to use inside python code too for checking versions. Regards Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
