So after creating, say, version 0.3.1, I always mark a package as 0.3.2dev. But this is annoying, you might never create a version 0.3.2 (e.g., 0.4 might be the next level). So, it would be better to use something like 0.3.1~dev. What is considered best practice for this? Ideally something that works with both Setuptools and the upcoming Distribute version spec.
I like using a version of "0" on my project trunks. I set the release version on release tags. I really wish there was a special version (or a version pattern) that indicated that something is a development version *only* and can't be released. I don't think best practices have been established. Jim -- Jim Fulton
