Please use a PEP-386/PEP-440 compatible version number
mgedmin opened this issue · comments
The Python packaging world is moving towards normalized version numbers described in PEP 386 (the currently accepted standard) and PEP 440 (new draft intended to replace PEP 386).
Please use a version number like 0.17 instead of just .17 for the next release, to be compatible with the PEPs.
(Personally, I prefer changing the version number in setup.py to '0.17.dev0' right after I release 0.16, and then change it to '0.17' just before I release it, so that a random checkout could not be confused with a released version).
Sorry to be getting back to you so late, but I just pushed a version to fix this.
