Version

A Python 3 class that parses version numbers to allow for comparison.

Attributes

version — The version data as given. Set this value to parse the version given.

parsed_version (read-only) — A tuple of the version elements parsed (e.g., '1.0.0a' returns (1, 0, 0, 'a')).

delimiters — A set of values to be used as boundaries; defaults to {'.'}.

Examples

>>> from version import Version
>>> v = Version('1.0.0a')
>>> v.parsed_version
(1, 0, 0, 'a')
>>> v.version
'1.0.0.a'  # the original input
>>> version_2 = float(2.0)
>>> v2 = Version(version_2)
>>> v2.parsed_version
(2, 0)
>>> v2 > v
True
