But you could still release 2.5.1.0.0? I suppose we limit the number
of version parts these days.
Why don't we update the spec so that (2.0) means (2.0) the range, and
(==2.0) means 2.0 (exactly).

The PEP is ambiguous on this, but you could get away with reading it
as "When a version is provided (without a conditional operator) it
always includes all versions that start with the same value".
Although it's unwritten in the PEP exactly how the operators are meant
to be interpreted, I would say they should be interpreted strictly.
Yeah that's what we wanted to do back then, I recall now.
+1 for the clarification - since it's just rephrasing thing we don't need a
new PEP I guess
and we can fix the implementations

We do have a new PEP anyway.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0426/ Metadata 1.3
We need to fix PEP 386 though
