Version#

class pyxem.utils.diffraction.Version(version: str)#

Bases: _BaseVersion

This class abstracts handling of a project’s versions.

A Version instance is comparison aware and can be compared and sorted using the standard Python interfaces.

>>> v1 = Version("1.0a5")
>>> v2 = Version("1.0")
>>> v1
<Version('1.0a5')>
>>> v2
<Version('1.0')>
>>> v1 < v2
True
>>> v1 == v2
False
>>> v1 > v2
False
>>> v1 >= v2
False
>>> v1 <= v2
True

Version is immutable; use __replace__() to change part of a version.

Instances are safe to serialize with pickle. They use a stable format so the same pickle can be loaded in future packaging releases.

Changed in version 26.2: Added a stable pickle format. Pickles created with packaging 26.2+ can be unpickled with future releases. Backward compatibility with pickles from packaging < 26.2 is supported but may be removed in a future release.
