I left out this one in my description. I included a variation of post->alpha rather than including the bug I reported in packaging for ==1.1.0.* not matching 1.1.a0 as I think it’s pretty well defined in the PEP and only a bug in packaging.
The idea of “any development release of a post-release” seems very esoteric, and I’d prefer to not have additional complexity for such edge cases and outright reject them.
Agreed, but is that the way the PEP was intended ?
