I hope you’re aware of previous efforts like stdeb (unfortunately requires setuptools) and py2rpm (for rpm systems but some parts can be inspiration, like the download code). I follow debian-python so we may encounter each other there.

I wonder why you need to compare versions from different projects. What is “it” in “it broke”? If it’s a regular distutils command, please paste the full command and log; if you meant you used the LooseVersion class in your code, then I’m afraid I will say this won’t be fixed: this is not a public class. distutils2.version however does contain a public class that implements PEP 386; even if the project is still in alpha (and I want to make a few renamings and API changes), you can still use it (and when I break your code a quick look at the CHANGES file will help you update). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14894> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
