PEP 440 contains a section that claims:
> Summary of differences from pkg_resources.parse_version
> [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#id63]
>
> * Local versions sort differently, this PEP requires that they sort as
> greater than the same version without a local version, whereasÂ
> pkg_resources.parse_version considers it a pre-release marker.
I haven't been able to find any mention of this in the setuptools changelogs,
but this no longer seems to be the case:
>>> from pkg_resources import parse_version
>>> parse_version('1.0.0+dev') > parse_version('1.0.0')
True
Thus, it might be good to change the comment in the PEP accordingly (ideally,
someone is able to figure out in which version of setuptools parse_version
started to be compatible with PEP440).
Best,
Michael Goerz
