Description of Issue

pythonversion grain breaks model of fooversion/release and fooinfo

What I mean by that is that pythonversion is not a simple string or int, but instead a list.

pythonversion:
    - 2
    - 7
    - 5
    - final
    - 0

It should instead be like 'osrelease: 7.9.2009' with the list varient named pythonversion_info.

I'm well aware this is a problematic and backwards incompatible change.

May I suggest adding "pythonrelease: 2.7.5" and "pythonrelease_info: [2, 7, 5, final, 0]" grains?
Then at some well documented future date having pythonversion go away.

Setup

Any salt version, at least through 3002.2

Steps to Reproduce Issue

salt-call grains.item pythonversion
local:
----------
pythonversion:
- 2
- 7
- 5
- final
- 0
