[issue25985] Use sys.version_info instead of sys.version

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Proposed patch replaces all occurrences of sys.version[:3] with '%d.%d' % sys.version_info[:2]. The former doesn't work with non-one-digit versions (such as 3.10 and 10.1). -- components: Distutils, Library (Lib) files: use_version_info.patch keywo

[issue17756] test_syntax_error fails when run in the installed location

Ezio Melotti added the comment: I'm going to close this since the reported issue has been fixed. In the test sys.stderr was mocked, and Mock.method_calls simply records the calls done to the mock. Therefore the fact that 'NameError' and ':' were written on sys.stderr on two separate calls to

Martin Panter added the comment: I don’t think you need to define __len__() to get an iterable, only __getitem__(). Also, if I understand your problem, Container would also be susceptible in theory, because membership testing via “in” and “not in” falls back to iteration. If you only define _
