Where can I find a list of Databricks runtime versions and their corresponding Python versions?

I'm surprised this is not easily available, I checked this page for example: https://docs.databricks.com/release-notes/runtime/releases.html

@fijoy Hi, You have to check the System Environment section in the release notes. You can get the Python version there. 

https://docs.databricks.com/release-notes/runtime/13.1.html#system-environment

The System Environment section is inconsistent.

I wanted to find a runtime that has Python 3.8.*. 

I inferred through trial and error that runtime 10.4 has that Python version, but it's not documented here:

https://docs.databricks.com/release-notes/runtime/10.4ml.html#system-environment

The Python version for each runtime needs to be lot easier to find.

@fijoy use %pip list in notebook and it should show libraries installed 

That's what I ended up doing. In order to do that however, I need to create clusters with different Databricks runtimes and choose the latest runtime that had Python 3.8.*. It was a lot more work than I anticipated. 

I think the Databricks docs should be a lot clearer.
