Mike You just need pick letter that are after release. Thing like p1 is greater then release
from the egg docs. (A note about versions: the egg runtime system understands typical version numbering schemes, so it knows that versions like "1.2a1" and "1.2rc5" are actually older than the plain version "1.2", but it also knows that versions like "1.2p1" or "1.2-1" are newer than "1.2".) Following a release number, you can have either a pre-release or post-release tag. Pre-release tags make a version be considered older than the version they are appended to. So, revision 2.4 is newer than revision 2.4c1, which in turn is newer than 2.4b1 or 2.4a1. Postrelease tags make a version be considered newer than the version they are appended to. So, revisions like 2.4-1 and 2.4pl3 are newer than 2.4, but are older than 2.4.1 (which has a higher release number). A pre-release tag is a series of letters that are alphabetically before "final". Some examples of prerelease tags would include alpha, beta, a, c, dev, and so on. You do not have to place a dot before the prerelease tag if it's immediately after a number, but it's okay to do so if you prefer. Thus, 2.4c1 and 2.4.c1 both represent release candidate 1 of version 2.4, and are treated as identical by setuptools. Hope this helps.
