This moves us fully to PEP440-compliance, and uses the packaging.version module, a carve-out of pip. Using their
Version
object allows us to avoid manual munging of version strings.This is a new dependency, but a fairly lightweight one. It reintroduces
six
and addspyparsing
to our dependency tree. I expectsix
will probably disappear in a version or two, andpyparsing
itself has no dependencies.Due to the new dependency, this is proposed for 3.1.
Fixes #855.
