Pure Python implementation of rpmvercmp.
The RPM Package Manager (http://rpm.org) has a version comparision
algorithm,
implemented in its C library, which performs the comparison in a certain
way.
In certain circumstances, where the C library is not installable (for
example,
on non-rpm based systems), or does not support the desired version of the
python interpreter, the pure-python implementation may be useful.
