That would be good. What I don't understand about this thread is why 3.4dev was "newer" than 3.4.0. Doesn't PyPi use the same versioning rules as setuptools? $ python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 20 2008, 01:20:16) [GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. f>>> from pkg_resources import parse_version >>> parse_version('3.4dev-r73090') < parse_version('3.4.0') True So what exactly was the problem? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
