Check Python Version In Code: Require A Minimum

You can check for the Python version in your code, to make sure your users are not running your script with an incompatible version. Use this simple check:

import sys

if not sys.version_info > (2, 7):
   # berate your user for running a 10 year
   # python version
elif not sys.version_info >= (3, 5):
   # Kindly tell your user (s)he needs to upgrade
   # because you're using 3.5 features
