Absolutely.

Specifies a range of python versions.
So this would work for Python 2.7 but *not* 2.7.1? Or does 2.7
implicitly mean a range of all Python 2.7 versions?
If not how do we specify up to the last version of 2.6 (which may not
yet be released) but *not* 2.7?
2.5:2.6.9 ?

Specifies anything above a particular python version.
(No need to ask me about a less than operator. I think
a packager would feel more comfortable with using the
range operator than a 'less-than' operator. There just
comes a point where people don't bother with old
interpreter versions)
That wraps it up for the vocal faction...
Happy new year
