Version Parser

JavaScript Version

Python Version

The version parser is able to parse versions and figure out which of them are build in one of the following three formats: Major-Version, Minor-Version and Build-Version.

Possible input types are:

Version	Typ
v1.2.3	Version
V1.2.3	Version
v_1_2_3	FILENAME
v1_2_3	FILENAME
V_1_2_3	FILENAME
V1_2_3	FILENAME
1_2_3	FILENAME
VM1m2b3	CLASSNAME_BUILD
VM1m2p3	CLASSNAME_PATCH
vM1m2b3	CLASSNAME_BUILD
vM1m2p3	CLASSNAME_PATCH
1.2.3	STRIPPED_VERSION
2312	NUMBER

Install

pip install version-parser

Usage

Create object with the version as a String as initial parameter.

from version_parser import Version


v1 = Version("v2.3.4")

To compare two version objects/numbers, simply put the versions as Strings into seperate objects and compare them using the logical operators.

from version_parser.version import Version


v1 = Version("v2.3.4")
v2 = Version("v2.3.2")

print(v1 < v2)
>> False


print(v1 > v2)
>> True


print(v1 == v2)
>> False

The last digets behind the last dot should be the Patch or Build Version Number. Differences in this area should be compatible to each other.

from version_parser.version import Version


v1 = Version("v2.3.4")
v2 = Version("v2.3.5")


print(v1 == v2)
>> False


print(v1.compatible_version_with(v2))
>> True

You can also get only the Major, Minor or Build Version by using:

from version_parser import Version
v = Version("v2.3.4")

v.get_major_version()
2
v.get_minor_version()
3
v.get_build_version()
4

It's possible to convert the version format, too:

from version_parser import Version, VersionType
v = Version("v2.3.4")       # VersionType = Version
print(v.get_type())
>> VersionType.Version

print(v.get_typed_version(VersionType.FILENAME))
>> v_2_3_4

Any version can be represented by an Integer.

The sections of major, minor, build/patched version should have a maximum of three digets.

from version_parser import Version
v = Version("v2.3.4")
print(v.get_number())
>> 2003004

VersionTypes

VersionType.FILENAME

"v_<MAJOR>_<MINOR>_<BUILD/PATCH>"

VersionType.CLASSNAME

"VM<MAJOR>m<MINOR>b<BUILD/PATCH>"

VersionType.VERSION

"v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<BUILD/PATCH>"

VersionType.STRIPPED_VERSION

"<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<BUILD/PATCH>"

VersionType.NUMBER

each section is filled zeros up to three digets

"<MAJOR><MINOR><BUILD/PATCH>"

VersionType.CLASSNAME_BUILD

same like CLASSNAME_BUILD

VersionType.CLASSNAME_PATCH

"VM<MAJOR>m<MINOR>p<BUILD/PATCH>"
                  ^
                PATCH
