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
I'd like to go even farther to: "foo 2".
