Why does python print version info to stderr? -


why did guido (or whoever else) decide make python --version print stderr rather stdout? curious use case makes standard error more appropriate standard out.

python 3.4 modified output stdout, expected behavior. listed bug python here: http://bugs.python.org/issue18338. comments on bug report indicate while stdout reasonable choice, break backward compatibility. python 2.7.9 largely unchanged, because relies on it.

hope helps!
