Quickstart
==========
.. teaser-begin
A Python module for `semantic versioning`_. Simplifies comparing versions.

.. teaser-end
.. note::
This project works for Python 3.7 and greater only. If you are
looking for a compatible version for Python 2, use the
maintenance branch |MAINT|_.
The last version of semver which supports Python 2.7 to 3.5 will be
2.x.y However, keep in mind, the major 2 release is frozen: no new
features nor backports will be integrated.
We recommend to upgrade your workflow to Python 3 to gain support,
bugfixes, and new features.
.. |MAINT| replace:: ``maint/v2``
.. _MAINT: https://github.com/python-semver/python-semver/tree/maint/v2
The module follows the ``MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`` style:
* ``MAJOR`` version when you make incompatible API changes,
* ``MINOR`` version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
* ``PATCH`` version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are supported.
To import this library, use:
.. code-block:: python
>>> import semver
Working with the library is quite straightforward. To turn a version string into the
different parts, use the ``semver.Version.parse`` function:
.. code-block:: python
>>> ver = semver.Version.parse('1.2.3-pre.2+build.4')
>>> ver.major
1
>>> ver.minor
2
>>> ver.patch
3
>>> ver.prerelease
'pre.2'
>>> ver.build
'build.4'
To raise parts of a version, there are a couple of functions available for
you. The function ``semver.Version.bump_major`` leaves the original object untouched, but
returns a new ``semver.Version`` instance with the raised major part:
.. code-block:: python
>>> ver = semver.Version.parse("3.4.5")
>>> ver.bump_major()
Version(major=4, minor=0, patch=0, prerelease=None, build=None)
It is allowed to concatenate different "bump functions":
.. code-block:: python
>>> ver.bump_major().bump_minor()
Version(major=4, minor=1, patch=0, prerelease=None, build=None)
To compare two versions, semver provides the ``semver.compare`` function.
The return value indicates the relationship between the first and second
version:
.. code-block:: python
>>> semver.compare("1.0.0", "2.0.0")
-1
>>> semver.compare("2.0.0", "1.0.0")
1
>>> semver.compare("2.0.0", "2.0.0")
0
There are other functions to discover. Read on!
