PY3VERSIONS(1)

✨ PY3VERSIONS(1) ✨ 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

py3versions — print python3 version information 🧚

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

py3versions [-h] [-v] [<options>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so py3versions is literally the tea ☕ it prints info about the python3 runtimes that are installed, the ones that are supported, and which one is the default. it also goes into the PythonVersion fields in the package control file for Python3 and parses out what's in there. iconic behavior, no cap 🫶

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -d, --default — shows you the default python3 version 👑
• -s, --supported — shows the supported python3 versions. the list goes from lowest to highest, with the default version sitting at the very end. like, if python3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 are supported but python3.5 is the default, you'd get python3.4 python3.6 python3.5 💜
• -r, --requested [<version string>|<control file>] — this one reads the X-Python3-Version field in the source section of a control file and shows every python3 version that matches 🔥 the argument is treated as a version string unless it's the name of a file. if the X-Python3-Version field is missing, it falls back to listing the supported Python3 versions after checking debian/control. versions less than 3 get ignored. the keyword all is ignored too, since it covers all Python2 versions 🙈 and the old keyword current isn't supported at all in Python3, so don't even try 💀 this one uses the same sort order as -s, --supported
• -i, --installed — shows the installed supported python3 versions 🍓
• --min-supported — shows the minimum supported python3 version ⭐
• --max-supported — shows the maximum supported python3 version 🌈
• -v, --version — limits the output to just the version numbers of the python3 versions ✨
• -h, --help — prints a help text 🫶
