This small python library provides a few tools to handle `SemVer`_ in
Python.
It follows strictly the 2.0.0 version of the SemVer scheme.

Getting started
===============
Install the package from `PyPI`_, using pip:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install semantic_version
Or from GitHub:
.. code-block:: sh
$ git clone git://github.com/rbarrois/python-semanticversion.git
Import it in your code:
.. code-block:: python
import semantic_version
This module provides classes to handle semantic versions:
- Version represents a version number (``0.1.1-alpha+build.2012-05-15``)
- BaseSpec-derived classes represent requirement specifications
(``>=0.1.1,<0.3.0``):
- SimpleSpec describes a natural description syntax
- NpmSpec is used for NPM-style range descriptions.
Versions
--------
Defining a Version is quite simple:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import semantic_version
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1.1')
>>> v.major
0
>>> v.minor
1
>>> v.patch
1
>>> v.prerelease
[]
>>> v.build
[]
>>> list(v)
[0, 1, 1, [], []]
If the provided version string is invalid, a ValueError will be raised:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File
"/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line
64, in __init__
major, minor, patch, prerelease, build = self.parse(version_string,
partial)
File
"/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line
86, in parse
raise ValueError('Invalid version string: %r' % version_string)
ValueError: Invalid version string: '0.1'
Obviously, Versions can be compared:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') <
