Hm, you're right. Note:
>>> from pkg_resources import *
>>> parse_version('1.0') < parse_version('1.0-dev')
False
>>> parse_version('1.0') < parse_version('1.0-r10')
True
So "dev" gets special treatment. Wonderful. I guess that must be
intuitive.

a .dev release is older than a .a1 release (or a1). The '-' makes a
post-release tag, so x.x.x-dev is later than x.x.xa1.
That's what the spec says. However, that's not how setuptools
worked for
me a week ago and is now.
'1.0-dev' is considered earlier than '1.0' as is '1.0dev':
from pkg_resources import parse_version
parse_version('1.0dev')
('00000001', '*@', '*final')
parse_version('1.0-dev')
('00000001', '*@', '*final')
parse_version('1.0-r123')
('00000001', '*final-', '*r', '00000123', '*final')
parse_version('1.0r123')
('00000001', '*r', '00000123', '*final')
parse_version('1.0a1')
('00000001', '*a', '00000001', '*final')
parse_version('1.0-a1')
('00000001', '*a', '00000001', '*final')
parse_version('1.0')
('00000001', '*final')
