[Distutils] Setuptools + specifying project's version

2011-05-09 Thread Ruslan Spivak 
Hi,

In 
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#specifying-your-project-s-version
there is a statement that 2.1-rc2 means you've already released 2.1
and an example



 parse_version('2.1-rc2')  parse_version('2.1')
False



Running the example gives quite the opposite result (setuptools-0.6c11):

 parse_version('2.1-rc2')  parse_version('2.1')
True

and actually it turns out that a pre-release tag 2.1rc2 is equal to
the post-release tag 2.1-rc2

  parse_version('2.1-rc2') == parse_version('2.1rc2')
True

Does anyone have any idea why that's the case or is it a bug?

Cheers,
Ruslan

Likely a bug, due to the fact that nobody who could fix it uses
post-release tags (I can't see the point, myself) -- just make another
release already).

If it's a bug, it's a documentation bug.  Originally, setuptools had 
the behavior described, and I later realized it was a bad idea.  ;-)


I think I skipped updating the documentation at the time, though, 
because there were still versions of setuptools in the field which 
could confuse the two, and thus using a '-' would still be a bad practice.


It might be a good idea to update it *now*, though.  ;-)
