Query about using Python - Six module

Question

I'm using the six module in my program, and the code is as follows:

if six.PY2:
    do_something()
else:   
    do_something_else()

The problem with this approach is that, the function do_something_else() would run only if Python version is 3.4+ due to dependencies. (And not on Py 3.3)

How do I check for this?

Thanks a lot! :)

Answer 1

Since it's a common requirement, six already provides this one:

six.PY34

It will be true if the Python version is greater or equal than v3.4.

So you could do this:

if six.PY2:
    do_something()
elif six.PY34:   
    do_something_else()
else:
    # ...do what?
