The values in the tuple are integers, not strings:
Python 2.0b1 (#248, Aug 31 2000, 00:55:23) [GCC 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)] on linux2

>>> sys.version_info
(2, 0, 0, 'beta', 1)
The values for the fourth entry are specifically chosen so that
lexicographic comparison works:
"alpha" < "beta" < "candidate" < "final"
