| When running python -V or --version the output goes to stderr instead of stdout. Unless python thinks its version is an err shouldn't the result go to stdout? | ||

| To be fair it turns out that Java also outputs its version to stderr. Still seems wrong. It's not an error! | ||

| Thanks for the report. This was already done in Python 3.4. See https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.4.html#changes-in-python-command-behavior and issue 18338 for details. Backporting this to 2.7 would break backwards compatibility so that means we can't change the behavior of python -V in a bugfix release. | ||

| Fair enough. Thanks for looking at it! |
