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?
<=2.5 means any version that is inferior or equal to 2.5.0 so 2.5.4
doesn't match
Also, "Requires-Python: 3" would include all 3.X versions, correct?
Correct, because, "Requires-Python: 3" is equivalent to "Requires-Python: ~= 3"
which is equivalent to "Requires-Python: 3.x.x"
To me it's non-intuitive that "<=2.5" means <=2.5.0 but "2.5" means
2.5.x; it's not consistent, explicit is better than implicit, etc.
I'd prefer it if omission means "don't care", so "2" means 2.x.y and
"2.5" means 2.5.x.
