I got the impression that people are generally happy with what setuptools provides for version parsing and comparison.

Does anyone think that's not a good model?

Procedurally, I think it's a very bad approach. I don't mind
the setuptools implementation being used as a basis (assuming
it gets contributed), but *independently* I think a specfication
is needed what version strings it actually understands. Such
specification must precede the actual implementation (in distutils).

Martin
