I've received a request that pip be able to be restricted to "stable"
versions. It was suggested some kind of --alpha-ok or --beta-ok option,
but this seems crude. I'd rather have it be part of the requirement.
Maybe Package==stable? But there's also reason to do something like
Package>=2.0,stable. So while pkg_resources can parse Package==stable
easily enough, it's not by itself really expressive enough (I suppose
Package>=2.0,==stable actually works okay).
Also, there needs to be a definition of what versions are "stable". And
maybe a distinction between beta/rc and development, though I'm less
worried about that. Are there definitions of this? Does zc.buildout do
this?
