Look at what happens when I ask Django what version number it has (this is from release 0.96.1): == [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar 7 2008, 04:10:12) [GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import django >>> django.VERSION (0, 96.099999999999994, None) >>> type(django.VERSION[1]) 099999999999994 is not 0.1, which cannot be represented exactly in a finite length floating point representation for any radix that is a power of 2, if I understand correctly. I should be seeing (0, 96.1, None) or, better yet, (0,96,1). == What's the third element of the tuple supposed to be? How about making the tuple's value something like (0, 96, 1) for (major_version, minor_version, patch_level) or something like that (probably with a better name than patch_level, I don't know exactly what the Django semantics are for the different parts of the versio number). Any thoughts? Peace, Andrew -- ======================================================= Andrew D.
