Greetings,
Correct me if I wrong, but shouldn't Python include function for
version comparisons?
The problem of splitting a string like 10.3.40-beta into tuple for
cmp() seems to be dead simple, but the code gets bulky with excepting
errors arised from converting resulting strings for arithmetic

What do you think about adding cmpversions(first, second,
strict=false) based on distutils into main lib?
distutils _is_ already in the main lib, that is, the standard

Can't you just compare sys.version_info tuples?
sys.version_info
(2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
Assuming the other possibilities for 'final' are
'alpha' and 'beta', these should compare in

On the packaging summit yesterday, people agreed that yes, we should
have something like that in the standard library, and it should be more
powerful than what distutils currently offers.
There was no

The page is relevant for the general packaging discussion as well, although
it's not fully fleshed out yet.

Instead of trying to parse some version string, distutils should
require defining the version as tuple with well-defined entries -
much like what we have in sys.version_info for Python.
The developer can then still use whatever string format s/he wants.
The version compare function would

I got the impression that people are generally happy with what
setuptools provides for version parsing and comparison.
Does anyone think that's not a good model?
Procedurally, I think it's a very bad approach. I don't mind
the setuptools implementation being used as a basis (assuming
