pycompat

Library to check Python and System version in a easy way

Note

This repository is archived because you should use Python 3 only. There's no reason to write code that runs on Python 2 and 3 anymore.

Compatibility

Works with all major versions of Python.

Tested on Python 1.5, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and PyPy.

Install

pip install pycompat

or

python setup.py install
