hbutils.system.python.version

Python version inspection utilities.

This module provides a lightweight helper for retrieving the current Python interpreter version as a packaging.version.Version instance. The returned object offers rich comparison semantics, making it suitable for version checks and conditional logic in system-dependent workflows.

The module contains the following main components:

• python_version() - Retrieve the interpreter version as a packaging.version.Version object.

Example:

>>> from hbutils.system.python.version import python_version
>>> ver = python_version()
>>> ver >= Version("3.8")
True

Note

This module relies on platform to query the interpreter version and uses packaging.version.Version for standardized parsing.

__all__

hbutils.system.python.version.__all__ = ['python_version']

Built-in mutable sequence.

If no argument is given, the constructor creates a new empty list. The argument must be an iterable if specified.

python_version

hbutils.system.python.version.python_version() → Version

Retrieve the current Python interpreter version.

This function queries the running Python interpreter using platform.python_version() and returns a parsed packaging.version.Version instance. The returned object can be compared directly with other version strings or Version instances.

Returns:

The current Python interpreter version.

Return type:

Version

Example:

>>> from hbutils.system.python.version import python_version
>>> python_version()  
Version('...')
