Combined with the fact that that great majority of packages don't change
very much after they have become stable, I think most package
dependencies could be expressed very simply if there was a simple syntax
to specify *just* the major version. In the context of setuptools, I
think "*" could be used, as has been suggested, but without leading =s.
So, to specify foo version 2, I think the following syntax would be very
reasonable:
foo 2*
Why can't this be foo >2 ?
This wouldn't prevent someone from specifying a minimum version. For
example, to combine this with a minimum requirement of 2.5:
foo 2* >=2.5
How about
foo 2.>=5
?
