IMHO it will still confuse a lot of people. I don't think it's the same as the Linux kernel because I suspect that people upgrade their kernels a /lot/ less often then they'll upgrade their Python version.

Yup. Most people don't even know what kernel (or what gcc, etc.) they have -- all they know is that they installed Red Hat 7.2.
