[issue8964] platform._sys_version does not parse correctly IronPython 2.x version

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

This is the tracker for CPython, not IronPython, but I assume they synchronize their standard modules with ours, so I think this bug should be fixed here (not in 2.6 though, this old version only gets security fixes).

Guidelines for patches: http://www.python.org/dev/patches/

In short: check out the py3k branch, add a test that fails in Lib/test/test_platform.py (in the test_sys_version method), then patch the code to make the test pass.
