Is there a Python equivalent to the Perl
require 5.6.0
Which enforces a minimum interpreter version?
As far as I know, no. But:

So you can create one yourself quite easily.
import sys
def require(version):
if sys.version_info < version:
raise OSError, "This program requires Python v%s or later" % '.'.join(map(str, version))
>>> require((2,4,1)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<stdin>", line 3, in require OSError: This program requires Python v2.4.1 or later
I'm not really sure what exception I should raise, though -- OSError is the most appropriate, but not exactly the Right Thing... Oh, well. *shrugs*
