[New-bugs-announce] [issue18338] option --version should send output to STDOUT

[Jari Aalto]

New submission from Jari Aalto:

C.f. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603851

When user is calling program with options, it is not an error
condition to run:

	python --version

The output is now sent to stderr. Please change to send to stdout as
in other *nix utilities, in order to collect in shell scrips:

   version=$(python --version)
