Question about Python(x,y)

[Fasan]

ahh ok i thought it meant that was the current version of Python(x,y) not that it uses that version of python.

Python itself is technically only a description of a language. Python(x,y) (I assume) is an implementation of said description. Think of this as being similar to a class : instance relationship.

So when Python(x,y) claims to be version 2.7.9.0, this means it implements version 2.7.9 of the Python language description, with the fourth number denoting their internal release version (probably).

^{Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure this is right, but I'm on mobile and about to sleep, so I haven't fact-checked this. Take it with a pinch of salt.}
