* a, b, c, and rc are the typical alpha beta release candidate tags. We debated whether to allow the single letter versions or the long versions "alpha", "beta", "rc". In the end, which set of tags was used was a bikeshed argument so it was chosen by PEP-author decree. I personally felt that having both "c" and "rc" was counter to the goals of the PEP but we at least agreed that "rc" would intuitively sort after "c" so it wasn't as bad as having both "alpha" and "a" where there would be no intuitively correct sorting.
Well, c and rc should really compare equal in my opinion.
