Eli Bendersky added the comment: Yes, it seems like an oversight to me. Printing --version to stdout is more customary (Python itself does it, and most other tools do too).
A question comes up about backwards compatibility. I would definitely not change it in 2.x - it's just not worth it. As for 3.x, should this go into 3.3 too or just 3.4? ---------- nosy: +bethard, eli.bendersky, serhiy.storchaka versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
