(Warning - bikeshed discussion. I won't prolong the debate beyond this one comment. I'm happy for Nick to simply pronounce on this). I'm not sure I like having "setuptools" as a name mandated in a PEP (just because it's a 3rd party package). Does the distutils LooseVersion class not give the same sort results? If it does, I would not want to mislead people into thinking that they *must* require setuptools/distribute to do version sorting (although almost certainly they will anyway for other reasons). Actually, given that the version scheme is a new field, why not duck the issue and just say that a missing version scheme implies "legacy"/"setuptools"? That'll be the de facto position anyway.
