Are you looking for something that handles the parsing of the range format and the operators for you?
Precisely. And it doesn’t have to be in requirements.txt format either, any scheme that handles ranges should work equally fine. I rolled my own here, and that’s fine, but if there is something already out there then I’d like to know and possibly use it instead of an ad-hoc solution. In fact, I'm expecting someone to say something along the lines of "Have a look at distutils.IsCompatible" In case it helps, the versioning module of Rez will soon become its own independent module that can be installed via pip/pypi. Yes, that would help. :) The fact that you guys are rolling your own, and that it’s enough of an effort to offer up as an individual package, is to me an indicator that there isn’t anything already out there that does this. Particularly considering that Rez has been around for years and I’m sure you must have been through the same treasure hunt as I am today. I did try to dig out the versioning mechanism a while back but couldn’t find it. Do you have any pointers as to where I should start looking? Which branch, for instance?
