"""As a programming ecosystem grows, so do the chances of runtime
variability.
Python boasts one of the widest deployments for a high-level
programming environment, making it a viable target for all manner of
application. But with breadth comes variance, so it's important to
know what you're working with.
Some basic variations that are common among development machines:
* **Executable runtime**: CPython, PyPy, Jython, etc., plus build date and compiler
* **Language version**: 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7... 3.3, 3.4, 3.5
* **Language version**: 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7... 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
* **Host operating system**: Windows, OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, etc.
* **Features**: 64-bit, IPv6, Unicode character support (UCS-2/UCS-4)
* **Built-in library support**: OpenSSL, threading, SQLite, zlib
