python: add version() to get running version

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.
 - Add support for conversion between `char` and `PyString`. [#1282](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1282)
 - Add FFI definitions for `PyBuffer_SizeFromFormat`, `PyObject_LengthHint`, `PyObject_CallNoArgs`, `PyObject_CallOneArg`, `PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs`, `PyObject_CallMethodOneArg`, `PyObject_VectorcallDict`, and `PyObject_VectorcallMethod`. [#1287](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1287)
 - Add conversions between u128/i128 and PyLong for PyPy. [#1310](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1310)
+- Add `Python::version()` and `Python::version_info()` to get the running interpreter version. [#1322](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1322)
 
 ### Changed
 - Change return type `PyType::name()` from `Cow<str>` to `PyResult<&str>`. [#1152](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1152)
