Awesome!

Minor nit: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#final-releases
still uses the older

  N[.N]+

spelling, which perhaps should be changed to

  N(.N)*

to be consistent with
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#public-version-identifiers
and to make it more apparent at a glance that one number with no dots is
also a valid version identifier.
