have richer version comparisons, with all of the existing uses being

Yes that's the plan too. PEP 345 is not updated yet, but that is
clearly stated in PEP 386.
So why don't we just pause for a while, get 386 done, implemented in and
then come back to 345?
I can't see why we'd want to not treat a Python version like any other
package version, but if we need 386 to get that, then lets do that
rather than finding convoluted ways to work around the problem...
