A library for comparing version strings

Project description

Compare package versions in all their varied glory.

[Home | GitLab | PyPI]

Description

This module provides the compare() function which compares two version strings and returns a negative value, zero, or a positive value depending on whether the first string represents a version number lower than, equal to, or higher than the second one, and the key_compare() function which may be used as a key for e.g. sorted().

This module does not strive for completeness in the formats of version strings that it supports. Some version strings sorted by its rules are:

  • 0.1.0
  • 0.2.alpha
  • 0.2
  • 0.2.1
  • 0.2a
  • 0.2a.1
  • 0.2a3
  • 0.2a4
  • 0.2p3
  • 1.0~bpo3
  • 1.0.beta
  • 1.0.beta.2
  • 1.0.beta2
  • 1.0.beta3
  • 1.0
  • 1.0.4
  • 1:0.3

See the change log (the docs/changes.md file in the source distribution) for the history of trivver development.
