This works, but it seems too cute:
>>> pyver = map(int,sys.version.split()[0].split('.'))
>>> print(pyver)
[2, 6, 1]
Is it guaranteed that the Python version string will be in a form
suitable for that? In other words, does "sys.version" begin
N.N.N other stuff
in all versions, and will it stay that way? Are there ever
non-numeric versions, like "3.2.rc1"?
