No, I think he's asking why someone should need to list "Python 2" as a classifier if they're already listing, say, "Python 2.7." This is assuming that "Python 2" means that _some_ 2.x version is supported rather than all, which is what I had assumed it to mean (and similarly for "Python 3"). If "Python 2" really means that all 2.x versions are supported as opposed to just some, then that should also be clarified (and similarly for "Python 3"). --Chris > > My take is that classifiers should be selected based on intent, > especially given the lack of documentation on how each should be > interpreted. > > > -Fred > > -- > Fred L.
