Greetings: Could anyone tell me why distutils and distutils2 do NOT have available 'version_info'? I have to use '__version__' to get their version information ... I know that Distutils2 is certainly not close to being production ready, but I am just curious? -- Sincerely yours, Rob G. Healey
Hello,
Could anyone tell me why distutils and distutils2 do NOT have available 'version_info'? I have to use '__version__' to get their version information ... __version__ is semi-standard and version_info even less. PEP 396 attempts to improve this but is not accepted yet. Anyway if you want to do comparisons (which I assume is the reason you want a version_info) you can just use __version__ with the distutils2.version.NormalizedVersion class.
