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 ?
Nevermind, I shot too fast. I realize that "foo 2*" *only* wants foo 2.x
and not 3.x... So, in my suggested spelling, I would write it as
foo 2.>=0
I wouldn't mind shorting that to
foo 2.*
though
