So, what you are saying is that software X specifies that it is compatible with "2.5 or later" as long as 2.6 hasn't been released, but when 2.6 is released it switches to "2.5 but not 2.6"? > The point is that some packages depend on >=2.5, and others depend on > <=2.5. I see no reason to deprecate the "<=" notation. That's not really what we are talking IIUC. We are talking about behaviour of "2.5" vs. "2.5.0". _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
