The PEP does currently have a semver section. In short, you can't
really use the -suffix+anothersuffix versions, but you can have x.y.z
versions where the major version number indicates a backwards
incompatible change.

The funny thing is that the version parsing that's currently in distutils came out a similar discussion probably 15 or so years ago. There's really not much news in semver.org except that it has its own website.

Actually one of my points was that PEP440 currently describes versioning incompatible with http://semver.org and that at the same time many python libs on pypi use semver.
