I recently saw this:
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/mxTools.html
mx.Tools.verscmp(a,b)
Compares two version strings and returns a cmp() function
compatible value (<,==,> 0). The function is useful for sorting lists
containing version strings.
The logic used is as follows: the strings are compared at each
level, empty levels defaulting to '0', numbers with attached strings
(e.g. '1a1') compare less than numbers without attachement (e.g. '1a1'
< '1).
