semantic-versioning 0.1.2

A package for easily managing Semantic versions as described in PEP440.

semantic_versioning

Another semantic versioning package, but better! It follows semantic versioning described in PEP440.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install semantic_versioning.

pip install semantic_versioning

Usage

Use validate function to check if versions in strings are correctly formatted.

from semantic_versioning import SemanticVersion

# use to validate (returns True)
assert SemanticVersion.validate("3.4.5-dev1")

Use parse function to load a SemanticVersion object from a string.

from semantic_versioning import SemanticVersion

SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.4")
# SemanticVersion(major=1, minor=2, patch=3)

SemanticVersion.parse("1.2a3.dev6")
# SemanticVersion(major=1, minor=2, pre_release_type="a", pre_release=3, dev_release=6)

SemanticVersion.parse("1-5-6", separator="-")
# SemanticVersion(major=1, minor=5, patch=3)

SemanticVersion.parse("1.0.1.2.5")
# SemanticVersion(major=1, minor=0, patch=1, versions=[2,5])

The SemanticVersion class is comparable and will correctly take pre/dev/post releases into account.

from semantic_versioning import SemanticVersion

SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.3") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.4") # True
SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.3") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2") # True
SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.dev0") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.dev1") # True
SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.dev0") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2") # True
SemanticVersion.parse("1.2a1") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2b0") # True
SemanticVersion.parse("1.2a1") < SemanticVersion.parse("1.2.post2") # True
