Thanks for these explanations Toshio. I am starting to think that whatever we use on Python side will be fine for you guys, (and for Ubuntu/Fedora guys), as long as it is described in the PEP.
Pretty much.
So I think that using '.' as we stated before "works" for everyone,
Now about the usage of "a1" as alpha for us, and a post release patch for you, this is something that won't be changed because it's deeply used in the Python community, (by Python itself, and most framworks) so we need to keep a status quo.
<nod> -- The only caveat to that is that aliases are a bad idea. So please don't add "alpha" as an alias for "a". If you must, add "alpha" and "a" separately so there is a predictable sorting between "alpha1" and "a1"... although this is still a way to make confusion rather than eliminate it. -Toshio
