I'm fine w/ 1.1a1 as well. We've run into a couple of internal infrastructure issues getting the build out so it'll be delayed anyway and I can update it to match CPython's form.

Hm. Are you only planning a single alpha? Otherwise this format isn't very useful. You might want to change the bit in the brackets to be of the form "1.1a1". For what it's worth, here's a typical CPython pattern: 2.5a1 - 1st alpha 2.5a2 - 2nd alpha 2.5a3 - 3rd alpha 2.5b1 - 1st beta ... 2.5c1 - 1st release candidate ... 2.5 - final release 2.5.1c1 - release candidate for 2.5.1 2.5.1 - final release for 2.5.1 This has been figured out over some time and works well for us. > The good news is that "'IronPython' in sys.version" (or 'IronPython 1.'

I'm trying to make lib/platform.py work - one of the things it needs is to determine the actual version of the Python implementation. IronPython is neither 2.4 nor 2.5, but instead is "1.0", "1.0.1", or "1.1a1" (at the moment). Yes, in theory determining the precise version is bad practice, but there are times when it's necessary. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
