Re: Converting PyPI to feeds

Dear Thomas, all,

I need input on these problems encountered while converting Python version
specifiers to ZI constraints:

1. in Zero Install, version 1 < 1.0 < 1.0.0. In Python, version 1 == 1.0 ==
1.0.0. E.g. the specifier '==1' would have to be converted to constraint
'1..1.0.0.0...' (infinite zeros). Also, how do 1.0.0 and 1.1 compare in
Zero Install? Should 1 be interpreted as 1.(-1) perhaps?
2. <version after=... not-after=...> will need to be implemented. Or
`version=` should support an & operator for intersection. This is to
support '<=version' for example.

Thanks,
Cheers,
Tim
