Supposedly setuptools uses packaging.version: $ python3 Python 3.8.3 (default, May 14 2020, 11:03:12) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import packaging.version >>> rc1 = packaging.version.parse('0.30~rc1') >>> rc1 <LegacyVersion('0.30~rc1')> >>> rc2 = packaging.version.parse('0.30~rc2') >>> maj = packaging.version.parse('0.30') >>> maj <Version('0.30')> >>> rc1 < rc2 < maj True So I think this is ok? Just for completeness: >>> rc1b = packaging.version.parse('0.30-rc1') >>> rc1b <Version('0.30rc1')> >>> rc1b < maj True Apparently PEP440 has the full details of how Python wants to see version numbers work, but it's too many years ago that I read that thing ;). This seems good enough to me. Cheers, Floris _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
