Printing Python version in output
PythonPython Problem Overview
How can I print the version number of the current Python installation from my script?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Try
import sys
print(sys.version)
This prints the full version information string. If you only want the python version number, then Bastien Léonard's solution is the best. You might want to examine the full string and see if you need it or portions of it.
Solution 2 - Python
import platform
print(platform.python_version())
This prints something like > 3.7.2
Solution 3 - Python
Try
python --version
or
python -V
This will return a current python version in terminal.
Solution 4 - Python
import sys
expanded version
sys.version_info
sys.version_info(major=3, minor=2, micro=2, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
specific
maj_ver = sys.version_info.major
repr(maj_ver)
'3'
or
print(sys.version_info.major)
'3'
or
version = ".".join(map(str, sys.version_info[:3]))
print(version)
'3.2.2'
Solution 5 - Python
If you are using jupyter notebook Try:
!python --version
If you are using terminal Try:
python --version
Solution 6 - Python
If you would like to have tuple type of the version, you can use the following:
import platform
print(platform.python_version_tuple())
print(type(platform.python_version_tuple()))
# <class 'tuple'>
