There are no places in the stdlib that parse sys.version in a way that would break wtih 2.7.10, AFAIK. I was just referring to the statement that Nick quoted. sys.version is used for parsing the Python version or using parts of it to build e.g. filenames and that's really no surprise.

Right, good to know. I thought you were implying that stuff would break. Yes, stuff definitely does parse out the version number from sys.version, lots of that happens.
