| implemented: StrictVersion and LooseVersion. |
| |
| Every version number class implements the following interface: |
| * the 'parse' method takes a string and parses it to some internal |
| representation; if the string is an invalid version number, |
| 'parse' raises a ValueError exception |
| * the class constructor takes an optional string argument which, |
| if supplied, is passed to 'parse' |
| * __str__ reconstructs the string that was passed to 'parse' (or |
| an equivalent string -- ie. one that will generate an equivalent |
| version number instance) |
| * __repr__ generates Python code to recreate the version number instance |
| * _cmp compares the current instance with either another instance |
| of the same class or a string (which will be parsed to an instance |
| of the same class, thus must follow the same rules) |

| """Version numbering for anal retentives and software idealists. |
| Implements the standard interface for version number classes as |
| described above. A version number consists of two or three |
| dot-separated numeric components, with an optional "pre-release" tag |
| on the end. The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b' |
| followed by a number. If the numeric components of two version |
| numbers are equal, then one with a pre-release tag will always |
| be deemed earlier (lesser) than one without. |
| |
| The following are valid version numbers (shown in the order that |
| would be obtained by sorting according to the supplied cmp function): |
| |
| 0.4 0.4.0 (these two are equivalent) |

| 1.3.a4 |
| 1.3pl1 |
| 1.3c4 |

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