.. data:: version
A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus additional
information on the build number and compiler used. It has a value of the form
``'version (#build_number, build_date, build_time) [compiler]'``. There may be
a newline character preceding the opening bracket with of the compiler info.
The first three characters are used to identify the version in the installation
directories (where appropriate on each platform). An example::
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'1.5.2 (#0 Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)]'
information on the build number and compiler used. This string is displayed
when the interactive interpreter is started. Do not extract version information
out of it, rather, use :data:`version_info` and the functions provided by the
:mod:`platform` module.
