One version package to rule them all, One version package to find them, One version package to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Make anything a version object, and compare against a vast section of other version formats.

Installation

python3 -m pip install awesomeversion

AwesomeVersion class

The AwesomeVersion class takes a version as the first argument, you can also pass in additional kwargs to customize the version object.

Argument Description
version The version string to parse.
ensure_strategy Match the AwesomeVersion object against spesific strategies when creating if. If it does not match AwesomeVersionStrategyException will be raised
find_first_match If True, the version given will be scanned for the first match of the given ensure_strategy. Raises AwesomeVersionStrategyException If it is not found for any of the given strategies.

AwesomeVersion methods

AwesomeVersion.in_range

This is a helper method to check if the version is in a range. This method takes two arguments, lowest and highest, both are required, and returns a boolean.

Note This method is the same as doing lowest <= AwesomeVersion <= highest

Example:

from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.2").in_range("1.2.1", "1.3"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.0").in_range("1.2.1", "1.3"))
> False
AwesomeVersion.diff

This is a helper method to get the difference between two versions. This method takes one argument which is the version to compare against, and returns a AwesomeVersionDiff object.

Note This method is the same as doing AwesomeVersion - version

Example:

from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
> print(AwesomeVersion("1.0").diff("2.1"))
AwesomeVersionDiff(major=True, minor=True, patch=False, modifier=False, strategy=False)
AwesomeVersion.section

This is a helper method to get a section of the version. This method takes one argument which is the section to get, and returns an integer representing it (or 0 if it does not exist).

Example:

from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
> print(AwesomeVersion("1.0").section(0))
1

Example usage

Here are some examples of how you can use this package, more examples can be found in the tests directory.

Basic compare
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

current = AwesomeVersion("1.2.2")
upstream = AwesomeVersion("1.2.3")

print(upstream > current)
> True
Compare beta version
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

current = AwesomeVersion("2021.1.0")
upstream = AwesomeVersion("2021.1.0b2")

print(current > upstream)
> True
Check if version is a beta version
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.3b0").beta)
> True

print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.3").beta)
> False
Use AwesomeVersion with with ...
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

with AwesomeVersion("20.12.0") as current:
    with AwesomeVersion("20.12.1") as upstream:
        print(upstream > current)
> True
Compare AwesomeVersion with other non-AwesomeVersion formats
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

base = AwesomeVersion("20.12.0")

print(base > "20.12.1")
> False

print(base > "19")
> True

print(base > 5)
> True

General behavior

You can test your versions on the demo page.

Modifiers

When comparing versions with modifiers, if the base version is the same the modifier will be used to determine the order. If one of the versions do not have a modifier, the one without will be considered newer.

The order of the modifiers are:

  • No modifier
  • RC
  • Beta
  • Alpha
  • Dev
Examples
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0.dev6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0.dev19") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b4"))
> False

Special versions (container)

There are some special versions for container that are handled differently than typical version formats. The special versions are in the following order:

  • dev (newest)
  • latest
  • beta
  • stable (oldest)

If only the first version is this special version, it will be considered newer. If only the second version is this special version, it will be considered older.

Examples
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("latest") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("latest"))
> False
print(AwesomeVersion("stable") > AwesomeVersion("latest"))
> False
print(AwesomeVersion("beta") > AwesomeVersion("dev"))
> False
