Stuff might work, but if you think you're using 3.5 and you're
actually running under 3.4, there's a high probability that you have
two Python installations and it's picking the wrong one. That, in
turn, means problems with package installations and such, so it's a
reasonable smoke test to try. (It's unlikely there'll be two different
3.5s installed.) And, of course, if it shows up that it's running
under *2*.5, well, that would explain a lot :)

Anyway, it is indeed what's expected - smoke test passed.
