If it's important you should add an informational test that shows the
Python version being tested.
While that might work, it seems a bit hackish to me. It seems the Python
version (as well as a number of other config parameters) are valuable
metadata associated with a given build that would be useful to display,
alongside the compiler name / version in use.
It's actually the less hackish way. As it handles the eventuality that the
version of Python that the tools are using will be different than the one
being tested for BPL. And would also account for multiple versions being
tested in the same b2 run.
