It's a direct compare between whatever string.split(sys.version)[0]
returns and the item in the shell vars you're looking at.  So, no.

This is chrism's code -- my aborted attempt last year delegated to
a short python script to test the version:

---8<---

version =3D string.split(sys.version, ' ')[0]
print '%s is %s' % (sys.executable, version)

supported_version =3D sys.argv[1]
minimum_patchlevel =3D sys.argv[2]

if version[:3] =3D=3D supported_version:
    if version >=3D minimum_patchlevel:
	sys.exit(0)

sys.exit(1)

---8<---

The shell script would invoke 'inst/acceptable_version.py 2.2 2.2.3',
then the exit code was used to determine whether or not this was
an "acceptable" version.
