Can anyone advise how to change this line so it gives “3.10” without breaking compatibility with older Python versions?

Something like this works:

[string index $ver 0].[string range $ver 1 end]

However, it would be more reliable for mpv to start with versions 
containing dots and strip them out when needed; something like:

set python.versions [list 3.8 3.9 3.10]
foreach ver ${python.versions} {
     set ver_nodot [string map {. ""} $ver]
     ...
}
