Sounds good, I'd be in favor of making RationalVersion using explicit version bits, and having some kind of function: str2version(somestring) -> RationalVersion instance I have pushed the prototype in a bitbucket project so everyone can work it out (just join the project) http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutilsversion/ I'll wait for Trent feedback to make that change, Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
