There's a function in distlib, distlib.version.legacy_key(), which sorts compatibly with pkg_resources.parse_version(). > The one missing piece is that "Version-Scheme: pep386" needs to be > explicitly identified as the default behaviour if no Version-Scheme > field is present (as well as the cosmetic fix to get the > Version-Scheme examples to display correctly). I'm not sure I understand this point. Shouldn't that default be "pkg_resources", given that all the existing distributions on PyPI will work with that scheme and not have the Version-Scheme present in their metadata?
