python_version()
'3.11.0+'
print(python_version.__doc__)
Returns the Python version as string 'major.minor.patchlevel'
Note that unlike the Python sys.version, the returned value
will always include the patchlevel (it defaults to 0).

This is a bug of the Debian package itself, the trailing "+" is added in
debian/patches/git-updates.diff.
Sunpy uses packaging.version.Version(python_version) to skip some tests,
which creates an error and therefore prevents Sunpy from compilation.
