[New-bugs-announce] [issue43931] Add the Python version to the API data.

[Gabriele N Tornetta]

New submission from Gabriele N Tornetta <phoenix1987 at gmail.com>:

When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).
