feedback on the last PEP 440 thread, and as such I'm happy to announce<br>
that I am accepting PEP 440 as the recommended approach to identifying<br>
versions and specifying dependencies when distributing Python<br>
software.<br>
<br>
The PEP is available in the usual place at<br>
<a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/" target="_blank">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/</a><br>
<br>
It's been a long road to get to an implementation independent<br>
versioning standard that has a feasible migration path from the<br>
current pkg_resources defined de facto standard, and I'd like to thank<br>
a few folks:<br>
<br>
* Donald Stufft for his extensive work on PEP 440 itself, especially<br>
the proof of concept integration into pip<br>
* Vinay Sajip for his efforts in validating earlier versions of the PEP<br>
* Tarek Ziadé for starting us down the road to an implementation<br>
independent versioning standard with the initial creation of PEP 386<br>
back in June 2009, more than five years ago!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Nick.<br>
