  83. on the end. The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b'
  84. followed by a number. If the numeric components of two version
  85. numbers are equal, then one with a pre-release tag will always
  86. be deemed earlier (lesser) than one without.

  165. # The rules according to Greg Stein:
  166. # 1) a version number has 1 or more numbers separated by a period or by
  167. # sequences of letters. If only periods, then these are compared
  168. # left-to-right to determine an ordering.
  169. # 2) sequences of letters are part of the tuple for comparison and are
  170. # compared lexicographically
  171. # 3) recognize the numeric components may have leading zeroes
  172. #
  173. # The LooseVersion class below implements these rules: a version number
  174. # string is split up into a tuple of integer and string components, and
  175. # comparison is a simple tuple comparison. This means that version
  176. # numbers behave in a predictable and obvious way, but a way that might
  177. # not necessarily be how people *want* version numbers to behave. There
  178. # wouldn't be a problem if people could stick to purely numeric version
  179. # numbers: just split on period and compare the numbers as tuples.
  180. # However, people insist on putting letters into their version numbers;
  181. # the most common purpose seems to be:
  182. # - indicating a "pre-release" version
  183. # ('alpha', 'beta', 'a', 'b', 'pre', 'p')
  184. # - indicating a post-release patch ('p', 'pl', 'patch')
  185. # but of course this can't cover all version number schemes, and there's
  186. # no way to know what a programmer means without asking him.
  187. #
  188. # The problem is what to do with letters (and other non-numeric
  189. # characters) in a version number. The current implementation does the
  190. # obvious and predictable thing: keep them as strings and compare
  191. # lexically within a tuple comparison. This has the desired effect if
  192. # an appended letter sequence implies something "post-release":
  193. # eg. "0.99" < "0.99pl14" < "1.0", and "5.001" < "5.001m" < "5.002".
  194. #
  195. # However, if letters in a version number imply a pre-release version,
  196. # the "obvious" thing isn't correct. Eg. you would expect that
  197. # "1.5.1" < "1.5.2a2" < "1.5.2", but under the tuple/lexical comparison
  198. # implemented here, this just isn't so.
  199. #
  200. # Two possible solutions come to mind. The first is to tie the
  201. # comparison algorithm to a particular set of semantic rules, as has
  202. # been done in the StrictVersion class above. This works great as long
  203. # as everyone can go along with bondage and discipline. Hopefully a
  204. # (large) subset of Python module programmers will agree that the
  205. # particular flavour of bondage and discipline provided by StrictVersion
  206. # provides enough benefit to be worth using, and will submit their
  207. # version numbering scheme to its domination. The free-thinking
  208. # anarchists in the lot will never give in, though, and something needs
  209. # to be done to accommodate them.
  210. #
  211. # Perhaps a "moderately strict" version class could be implemented that
  212. # lets almost anything slide (syntactically), and makes some heuristic
  213. # assumptions about non-digits in version number strings. This could
  214. # sink into special-case-hell, though; if I was as talented and
  215. # idiosyncratic as Larry Wall, I'd go ahead and implement a class that
  216. # somehow knows that "1.2.1" < "1.2.2a2" < "1.2.2" < "1.2.2pl3", and is
  217. # just as happy dealing with things like "2g6" and "1.13++". I don't
  218. # think I'm smart enough to do it right though.
  219. #
  220. # In any case, I've coded the test suite for this module (see
  221. # ../test/test_version.py) specifically to fail on things like comparing
  222. # "1.2a2" and "1.2". That's not because the *code* is doing anything
  223. # wrong, it's because the simple, obvious design doesn't match my
  224. # complicated, hairy expectations for real-world version numbers. It
  225. # would be a snap to fix the test suite to say, "Yep, LooseVersion does
  226. # the Right Thing" (ie. the code matches the conception). But I'd rather
