Feature
I'm writing an application that runs a third-party script, which operates on pickles generated by another application. There are different versions of the script for Python 2 and Python 3, and the Python version must match the Python version used by that other application, but the actual implementation doesn't matter -- CPy, RustPy, Jython, IronPy, and PyPy all work properly.
My application allows the user to choose their Python executable of choice. It needs to check whether it implements Python 2 or Python 3 and also collect and show a proof-of-life (i.e. "RustPython 0.5.0 (64bit, for Python 3.14)"). Usually I'd get that from PEP514 registrations, but I also need to generate it if someone browses to an unregistered interpreter like RustPython. I'm getting incorrect output from RustPython when I try to obtain that information.
There are two version numbers in sys, and RustPython incorrectly uses the same version information in both:
sys.version_info -- This is the version of CPython that RustPython is trying to copy, and is correctly set to (essentially) 3.14.0alpha.sys.implementation.version -- This is the version of RustPython itself. It should be set to (essentially) 0.5.0, but instead is set to the same version as above.
