PY3VERSIONS(1) General Commands Manual PY3VERSIONS(1)
NAME
py3versions - print python3 version information
SYNOPSIS
py3versions [-h] [-v] [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
py3versions prints information about installed, supported python3 run-
times, the default runtime, and parses the information of the PythonVer-
sion fields in the package control file for Python3.
OPTIONS
-d, --default
Show the default python3 version.
-s, --supported
Show the supported python3 versions. List is lowest version to
highest version with the default version last (e.g. python3.4
python3.6 python3.5 if python3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 are supported, but
python3.5 is the default python3).
-r, --requested [<version string>|<control file>]
Reads the value of the X-Python3-Version field in the source sec-
tion of a control file and shows all matching python3 versions.
The parameter is interpreted as a version string, if it is not
the name of a file. If the X-Python3-Version field is missing,
it will fall back to list the supported Python3 versions after
checking debian/control. Versions less than 3 are ignored. The
keyword all is ignored because it covers all Python2 versions.
The former keyword current is not supported at all in Python3.
Uses the same sort order as the -s, --supported option.
-i, --installed
Show the installed supported python3 versions.
--min-supported
Show the minimum supported python3 version.
--max-supported
Show the maximum supported python3 version.
-v, --version
Limit the output to the version numbers of the python3 versions.
-h, --help
Print a help text.
