Versions

Defining a Version is quite simple:

>>> import semantic_version
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1.1')
>>> v.major
0
>>> v.minor
1
>>> v.patch
1
>>> v.prerelease
[]
>>> v.build
[]
>>> list(v)
[0, 1, 1, [], []]

If the provided version string is invalid, a ValueError will be raised:

>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line 64, in __init__
    major, minor, patch, prerelease, build = self.parse(version_string, partial)
  File "/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line 86, in parse
    raise ValueError('Invalid version string: %r' % version_string)
ValueError: Invalid version string: '0.1'

In order to define “relaxed” version strings, you must pass in partial=True:

>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1', partial=True)
>>> list(v)
[0, 1, None, None, None]

Obviously, Versions can be compared:

>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') < semantic_version.Version('0.1.2')
True
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') > semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-alpha')
True
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') <= semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-alpha')
False

You can also get a new version that represents a bump in one of the version levels:

>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_major()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.0.0'
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_minor()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.2.0'
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_patch()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.1.2'

It is also possible to check whether a given string is a proper semantic version string:

>>> semantic_version.validate('0.1.3')
True
>>> semantic_version.validate('0a2')
False

Requirement specification

The Spec object describes a range of accepted versions:

>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.1')  # At least 0.1.1
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.1'))
True
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.1-alpha1'))  # pre-release satisfy version spec
True
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.0'))
False

Simpler test syntax is also available using the in keyword:

>>> s = Spec('==0.1.1')
>>> Version('0.1.1-alpha1') in s
True
>>> Version('0.1.2') in s
False

Combining specifications can be expressed in two ways:

• Components separated by commas in a single string:

  >>> Spec('>=0.1.1,<0.3.0')

• Components given as different arguments:

  >>> Spec('>=0.1.1', '<0.3.0')

• A mix of both versions:

  >>> Spec('>=0.1.1', '!=0.2.4-alpha,<0.3.0')

>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.0,<0.4.0')
>>> versions = (Version('0.%d.0' % i) for i in range(6))
>>> for v in s.filter(versions):
...     print v
0.1.0
0.2.0
0.3.0

>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.0,<0.4.0')
>>> versions = (Version('0.%d.0' % i) for i in range(6))
>>> s.select(versions)
Version('0.3.0')

>>> Version.coerce('0')
Version('0.0.0')
>>> Version.coerce('0.1.2.3.4')
Version('0.1.2+3.4')
>>> Version.coerce('0.1.2a3')
Version('0.1.2-a3')

>>> Version('0.1.0-alpha') in Spec('>=0.1.0')  # No pre-release identifier
True
>>> Version('0.1.0-alpha') in Spec('>=0.1.0-')  # Include pre-release in checks
False

>>> Version('1.0.0+build2') in Spec('<=1.0.0')   # Build metadata ignored
True
>>> Version('1.0.0+build2') in Spec('==1.0.0+build2')  # Include build in checks
False
