Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Unable to store "python --version" to a shell variable Post 302903273 by cnamejj on Monday 26th of May 2014 02:40:37 PM

If you're using bash/sh or similar shells this will capture the python version number in a variable.

Code:
xx=$(python --version 2>&1)

The output is being sending to stderr, which is why you need the "2>&1".
