One of the perks of the way PEP 425 deals with this [1] is that ASCII
underscores sort higher than ASCII digits, so:
>>> "py31" < "py39" < "py310" < "py311"
False
>>> "py31" < "py39" < "py3_10" < "py3_11"
True
(I'm not sure if that's true for all collation orders, but if we find
one where it isn't, then we'd just specify a collation order to use
for Python version comparisons)
Cheers,
Nick.
