FYI we have introduced a range operator, so one may define a range of versions. This is useful for instance to write:
Requires-Python: ~=2.5
Which means: requires any version of Python 2.5.x.
-1 on that syntax. It's an extra operator, with a non-obvious meaning; the meaning should be as clear as feasible even to those who have not read the specification. The existing operators ‘>’, ‘>=’, ‘<’ ‘<=’ are standard and more obvious. That is, the existing operators: Requires-Python: >=2.5, <2.6 explicitly specify the range in your example. -- \ “Value your freedom or you will lose it, teaches history. | `\ “Don't bother us with politics,” respond those who don't want | _o__) to learn.” —Richard Stallman, 2002 | Ben Finney
