I may be fighting against the tide here; but this screams to me that the PEP should not be talking at all about “version number” (except to point out that they're strings, not numbers). Instead, the term should be “version string” throughout. Much damage is done to understanding version strings by calling them “version numbers”, with all the baggage about parsing and sequencing etc. that entails. We don't have to make the same mistake in this PEP. -- \ “He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let | `\ that fool you. He really is an idiot.” —Groucho Marx | _o__) | Ben Finney
