This small python library provides a few tools to handle SemVer in Python. It follows strictly the 2.0.0 version of the SemVer scheme.

Or from GitHub:
$ git clone git://github.com/rbarrois/python-semanticversion.git
Import it in your code:
import semantic_version
This module provides classes to handle semantic versions:
Versionrepresents a version number (0.1.1-alpha+build.2012年05月15日)BaseSpec-derived classes represent requirement specifications (>=0.1.1,<0.3.0):SimpleSpecdescribes a natural description syntaxNpmSpecis used for NPM-style range descriptions.
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'One may also create a Version with named components:
>>> semantic_version.Version(major=0, minor=1, patch=2) Version('0.1.2')
In that case, major, minor and patch are mandatory, and must be integers.
prerelease and build, if provided, must be tuples of strings:
>>> semantic_version.Version(major=0, minor=1, patch=2, prerelease=('alpha', '2')) Version('0.1.2-alpha.2')
Some user-supplied input might not match the semantic version scheme.
For such cases, the Version.coerce method will try to convert any
version-like string into a valid semver version:
>>> 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')
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+build') >>> new_v = v.next_major() >>> str(new_v) '1.0.0' >>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1+build') >>> new_v = v.next_minor() >>> str(new_v) '1.2.0' >>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1+build') >>> new_v = v.next_patch() >>> str(new_v) '1.1.2'
python-semanticversion provides a couple of ways to describe a range of accepted versions:
The
SimpleSpecclass provides a simple, easily understood scheme -- somewhat inspired from PyPI range notations;The
NpmSpecclass supports the whole NPM range specification scheme:>>> Version('0.1.2') in NpmSpec('0.1.0-alpha.2 .. 0.2.4') True >>> Version('0.1.2') in NpmSpec('>=0.1.1 <0.1.3 || 2.x') True >>> Version('2.3.4') in NpmSpec('>=0.1.1 <0.1.3 || 2.x') True
Basic usage is simply a comparator and a base version:
>>> s = SimpleSpec('>=0.1.1') # At least 0.1.1 >>> s.match(Version('0.1.1')) True >>> s.match(Version('0.1.1-alpha1')) # pre-release doesn't satisfy version spec False >>> s.match(Version('0.1.0')) False
Combining specifications can be expressed as follows:
>>> SimpleSpec('>=0.1.1,<0.3.0')
Simpler test syntax is also available using the in keyword:
>>> s = SimpleSpec('==0.1.1') >>> Version('0.1.1+git7ccc72') in s # build variants are equivalent to full versions True >>> Version('0.1.1-alpha1') in s # pre-release variants don't match the full version. False >>> Version('0.1.2') in s False
Refer to the full documentation at
https://python-semanticversion.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for more details on the
SimpleSpec scheme.
The SimpleSpec.filter method filters an iterable of Version:
>>> s = SimpleSpec('>=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
It is also possible to select the 'best' version from such iterables:
>>> s = SimpleSpec('>=0.1.0,<0.4.0') >>> versions = (Version('0.%d.0' % i) for i in range(6)) >>> s.select(versions) Version('0.3.0')
