I don't like the ~ at all sorry. The ~ operator is thoroughly confusing.
No application developer will quickly figure out what a tilde means. Maybe
it means 'roughly', but it requires too much thought and is ambiguous. 2.5
is not roughly 2.5.2. It is the same exactly.
Tarek,
I am a bit confused at the current proposal combined with the newly
introduced range operator.
Would "Requires-Python: <=2.5" include 2.5.4 or not?
Also, "Requires-Python: 3" would include all 3.X versions, correct?
