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
