I can’t speak to the complexity, but it’s very definitely an important use case. Imagine when Python 3.10 is out; do you really want to have to write: requires-python = '>=2.7,!=3.0,!=3.1,!=3.2,!=3.3,!=3.4,!=3.5,!=3.6,!=3.7’ and so on? Plus, I don’t think it’s uncommon to have disjointed version support like this (well, maybe until 2020 when Python 2 is dead and gone <wink>). And you have to get requires-python right, otherwise tools like tox can’t do the right thing when they install your library into its virtual environments. > FYI, some previous discussion on the topic can be found here: Thanks for the links. And thanks Donald for your vote of support. Cheers, -Barry
