In PR 12074 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/12074 I propose adding a
function `version.get_numpy_version_as_hex()` which returns a hex value
to represent the current NumPy version MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO where

v = hex(MAJOR << 24 | MINOR << 16 | MICRO)
+1

We use it in our code and it is a good practice, much better then 0.9.0>0.10.0 !

We added some support for dev, alpha, beta, RC and final versions in
https://github.com/silx-kit/silx/blob/master/version.py

Cheers,
Thanks. I think at this point I will change the proposal to

v = hex(MAJOR << 24 | MINOR << 16 | MICRO << 8)

which leaves room for future enhancement with "release level" and "serial" as 
the lower bits.

Matti
