Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 The python documentation for sys.version says "Do not extract version
 information out of it, rather, use version_info and the functions provided
 by the platform module."  It looks to me as though you could use
 {{{
 platform.python_version()  # gives '2.6.4'
 platform.python_version().rstrip('.', 1)[0]  # gives '2.6'
 ver = platform.python_version_tuple()  # gives ('2', '6', '4')
 ver[0] + '.' + ver[1]  # gives '2.6'
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 ver = sys.version_info
 str(ver[0]) + '.' + str(ver[1])   # gives '2.6'
 }}}
 I'll take a look at the rest of the patches...
