The fact that this specific string is a substring of sys.version seems like an implementation detail. The docs even discourage extracting information out of sys.version.

A quick chatgpt tells me that sysconfig.get_config_var("Py_GIL_DISABLED") is an equivalent way to check for this, though we need to test it out.
UPDATE: On my Ubuntu 25.04 with python 3.13 this config var check is accurate.

):
python_version += f"t, {'' if sys._is_gil_enabled() else 'No '}GIL"

print(
f"pygame-ce {ver} (SDL {'.'.join(map(str, get_sdl_version()))}, "
f"Python {platform.python_version()})"
f"Python {python_version})"
)
del python_version, python_implementation
