</div>Yes, please. The comparison of version strings needs to be easily done<br>
by non-Python programs (e.g. tools for packaging Python<br>
distributions), so a specification that can be implemented in other<br>
languages or environments is a must.</blockquote><br>There's a specification in <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/ApplicationInfrastructure">http://wiki.python.org/moin/ApplicationInfrastructure</a> , see "Version API" below (at least, it's a start).<br>
