Is there a method to get a full windows build number in python?

I m struggling with the windows build number, i want to get it in full size, therefore decimal are included, I have only found this code:

version = sys.getwindowsversion()
print(version.build)

the output is:

19043

but i need to get the full length of the build number :C, how can I overcome this issue?

SOLUTION FOUNDED:

import os
os.system('ver')

OUTPUT:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1052]

You got the acces to the rest of the build numbers via version.major, version.minor

sys.getwindowsversion(major=10, minor=0, build=19041, platform=2, service_pack='')

Alternatively you can use

import platform
platform.version()
platfotm.platform()

the output looks like :

'10.0.19041'
'Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0'

EDIT

Its one more option. Run powershell script from python and catch the output. First thing to do is allow run powershell commands from outside : Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned run in PS Than use code like :

import subprocess, sys

p = subprocess.Popen(["powershell.exe", 
              "Get-ItemProperty -Path c:\windows\system32\hal.dll.VersionInfo.FileVersion"], 
              stdout=sys.stdout)
p.communicate()

the output should be like : 10.0.19041.964 (WinBuild.160101.0800)
