On the packaging summit yesterday, people agreed that yes, we should
have something like that in the standard library, and it should be more
powerful than what distutils currently offers
See http://wiki.python.org/moin/ApplicationInfrastructure , "Version
handling" below for a possible strict version API.
The page is relevant for the general packaging discussion as well, although
it's not fully fleshed out yet.

Can't you just compare sys.version_info tuples?
>>> sys.version_info
(2, 5, 0, 'final', 0)
Assuming the other possibilities for 'final' are
'alpha' and 'beta', these should compare

What do you think about adding cmpversions(first, second,
strict=false) based on distutils into main lib?
distutils _is_ already in the "main lib", that is, the standard library.
Greetings,
Correct me if I wrong, but shouldn't Python include function for
version comparisons?
The problem of splitting a string like "10.3.40-beta" into tuple for
cmp() seems to be dead simple, but the code gets bulky with excepting
errors arised from converting resulting strings for arithmeti
