--version?

[Paul Watson]

Is there any chance that Python would support the --version command line
parameter? It seems that many open source programs use this switch to
report their version number.

try at a command prompt:
python -V

Hope this helps.

I am well aware of -V. Could --version be supported as well?

Re: --version?

I agree. The "--version" option has become quite a de-facto standard
in the linux world. In my sys-admin role, I can blithely run
initiate_global _thermonuclear_ war --version
to find what version we have, even if I don't know what it does...

python --version

would be a very helpful addition. (Keep the "-V" too, if you like it
:-)

I just submitted:

The patch implements long option support in _PyOS_GetOpt.
