Pip: Specifying minor version
Question:
In my requirements.txt file I want to specify that my app needs Django version 1.3.x. That is, either 1.3.0, or 1.3.1, or 1.3.2, etc. (When these come out.) But not 1.4, when it comes out.
What’s the syntax for this?
Answers:
According to Ian Bicking:
Django>=1.3,<1.4
However, it’s apparently safer to do:
Django>=1.3,<1.3.99
my app needs Django version 1.3.x
In your case, use one of:
Compatible release
Django~=1.3.0
Ref: PEP 440 Compatible release
Version matching
Django==1.3.*
Ordered comparison
Django>=1.3,<1.4
Note: ordered operators work for your case after the change introduced in this commit in 2015
Ref: PEP 440 Inclusive ordered comparison
Ref: PEP 440 Exclusive ordered comparison
