See my previous follow up. It probably makes sense to be explicit in one PEP or the other, but...
So you can't escape needing a function to compare versions. (NormalizedVersion does this by letting you compare NormalizedVersions together). Barry if this is correct, maybe __version_info__ is useless and I shouldn't have brought it up at pycon?
...yikes! You might be right about that. Unless there are any counter arguments, I think I'll have to remove it from PEP 396. (Makes me like hexversion even more :). -Barry
