This works, but it seems too cute:

Is it guaranteed that the Python version string will be in a form
suitable for that? In other words, does "sys.version" begin
N.N.N other stuff
in all versions, and will it stay that way? Are there ever
non-numeric versions, like "3.2.rc1"?
Why not to use:
sys.version_info
"A tuple containing the five components of the version number:
major, minor, micro, releaselevel, and serial. All values except
releaselevel are integers; the release level is 'alpha', 'beta',
'candidate', or 'final'. The version_info value corresponding to
the Python version 2.0 is (2, 0, 0, 'final', 0)."
