semver-object

[Thor77]

In my opinion your approach to parsing is quite "unpythonic", I would prefer smth like this:

info = semver('1.0.0')

that would allow easy comparison with

>> semver('1.0.0') > semver('2.0.0')
>> False

(yes I know there's semver.compare for that)
Python is a object-orientated language after all ;)

@Thor77 you can already do that:

In [3]: info1 = semver.parse_version_info('1.0.0')

In [4]: info2 = semver.parse_version_info('2.0.0')

In [5]: info1 > info2
Out[5]: False

[Thor77]

I know there are already ways to accomplish this in your library, but they're verbose and not object-orientated.
For example

ver = semver.parse_version_info('1.0.0')
ver.bump_{major,minor,patch}()

does not work.
But maybe this usecase is not even the usecase of this library, so feel free to just close this :)

@Thor77 ah, I see what you mean. So, if you want to make a nice PR implementing a Semver class with all the object-oriented functionality, I wouldn't mind accepting it :)

Although I'm not a big fan of an "all object" approach (or too much objects), I think a static method named parse for VersionInfo could be an interesting idea.

from semver import VersionInfo
VersionInfo.parse("1.2.3")

@Thor77 I think after PR #88 and #141 we can close this (quite old) issue!
Please feel to reopen if you think that's necessary.
