Usage

To use the library it's necessary import the class Vers, than you can comapare or manipulate the version numbers.

Initialize and print version

>>> from semantic_version_tools import Vers

>>> main_ver=Vers('1.0')
>>> print(main_ver)

Version 1.0

The version number could be a string or a tuple, whit 2 or 5 elements:

• the major version number
• the minor version number
• the patch number
• pre-release type
• build number

For the pre-release are used letters as reported below:

• d: developing version
• a: alpha release
• b: beta release
• rc: release candidate
• f: final release

>>> main_version = Vers((0,1,0,'d',1))
>>> print(main_version)

Version 0.1.0-devel.1

>>> main_version = Vers('0.1.0-a.1')
>>> print(main_version)

Version 0.1.0-alpha.1

Compare versions

In the class Vers are implemented the main comparison operators. For example:

>>> a=Vers('1.0.0')
>>> b=Vers('1.0.1')

>>> a>b
False
>>> a==b
False
>>> a<b
True
a<=b
True

Sum and increase

It's possible sum tro version number or icrease it.

>>> a = Vers('1.0.0')
>>> b = Vers('1.0.1')
>>> c=a+b
>>> c
Version 2.0.1


>>> a = Vers('1.0.0')
>>> a=a+1
>>> a
Version 1.1.0
# equivalent to
>>> a +=1
>>> a
Version 1.1.0

The summ add a minor version. To add a major version you must add a float

>>> a = Vers('1.0.0')
>>> a += 1.0
>>> a
Version 2.0.0
