[New-bugs-announce] [issue43278] Inconsistent behavior of Py_GetCompiler()

[Joseph Shen]

New submission from Joseph Shen <joseph.smeng at gmail.com>:

The function Py_GetCompiler() return the version info with a leading '\n' when build with GCC/clang, while without this on other compilers. This inconsistent make the REPL print the 'welcome message' quit different, which I think is not we expect.
>From the snapshot images, we can see, when compiler with MSVC, the 'welcome message' has two lines, but with GCC it is 3 lines, which two lines is what expected.
Patch is given in the github rp, thanks for review.
