Regarding the version: when clang is built, the svn version from which the
sources were put together is included in the resulting binary, perhaps that
a similar mechanism for the python version would be possible ?

If you run clang -v, you can get it, so I suppose that exploring from there
(where does -v lead ?) you may be able to find the versions and check if
they are available via the hooks or where they come from.
