I was going to say, of course, and give you a link, but I'm surprised to discover there's nothing I can find. Which is weird because I *know* I wrote something.
I thought you did too.
However I suspect it was originally on the PythonEggs wiki page, and it didn't get transferred to the PkgResources or setuptools pages before being deleted.
Ah, yes, that's in fact the case. Here's the missing paragraph, grabbed from the wiki history:
"""Requirement strings basically consist of a distribution name, an optional list of "options" (more on this in a moment), and a comma-separated list of zero or more version conditions. Version conditions basically specify ranges of valid versions, using comparison operators. The version conditions you supply are sorted into ascending version order, and then scanned left to right until the package's version falls between a pair of > or >= and < or <= conditions, or exactly matches a == or != condition."""
OK, this is something. I'm sure what "ascending version order" is. In ascending version order, what is the ordering of: <1.2, >1.2, ==1.2, <=1.2, >=1.2, and !=1.2 ? -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!
