packaging-rs

High-performance Rust implementation of packaging - version parsing and comparison utilities.

Overview

packaging-rs is a Rust-powered Python library that provides fast version parsing and comparison, compatible with Python's packaging library but with significantly improved performance.

Installation

pip install packaging-rs

Features

• 🚀 High Performance: Built with Rust for maximum speed
• 📦 Version Handling: Parse and compare package versions
• 🔄 Compatible: Works with PEP 440 version specifications
• 🐍 Python 3.8+: Supports Python 3.8 through 3.14
• 🌍 Cross-Platform: Pre-built wheels for Linux, macOS, and Windows

Quick Start

from packaging_rs import Version, parse

# Parse versions
v1 = Version("1.2.3")
v2 = Version("2.0.0")
v3 = parse("1.2.3a1")  # Pre-release version

# Compare versions
print(v1 < v2)   # True
print(v2 > v1)   # True
print(v1 == Version("1.2.3"))  # True

# Version information
print(v1.major)  # 1
print(v1.minor)  # 2
print(v1.micro)  # 3

Version Formats

Supports PEP 440 version formats:

• Standard versions: 1.2.3
• Pre-releases: 1.2.3a1, 1.2.3b2, 1.2.3rc1
• Post-releases: 1.2.3.post1
• Development releases: 1.2.3.dev1
• Local versions: 1.2.3+local.version

Performance

packaging-rs delivers significant performance improvements over pure Python implementations, especially when processing large numbers of version comparisons.
