If the first x.y release were called x.y.0, (does not sys.version include 0?) then x.y would unambiguously mean the series. Yeah, well, although sys.version includes the zero, nothing else does. The first releases are called 2.5, which is ambiguous. Both Python and Plone leaves out the zero in the version name. IMO that's a bug. But that's now how it is.

Yes but in PEP 386 semantics, 2.5 will be equivalent to 2.5.0, so it doesn't matter if a software doesn't use the .0
