AwesomeVersion methods

AwesomeVersion.in_range
This is a helper method to check if the version is in a range.
This method takes two arguments, lowest and highest, both are required, and returns a boolean.

Note This method is the same as doing lowest <= AwesomeVersion <= highest

Example:
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.2").in_range("1.2.1", "1.3"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.0").in_range("1.2.1", "1.3"))
> False



AwesomeVersion.diff
This is a helper method to get the difference between two versions.
This method takes one argument which is the version to compare against, and returns a AwesomeVersionDiff object.

Note This method is the same as doing AwesomeVersion - version

Example:
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
> print(AwesomeVersion("1.0").diff("2.1"))
AwesomeVersionDiff(major=True, minor=True, patch=False, modifier=False, strategy=False)



AwesomeVersion.section
This is a helper method to get a section of the version.
This method takes one argument which is the section to get, and returns an integer representing it (or 0 if it does not exist).
Example:
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion
> print(AwesomeVersion("1.0").section(0))
1

Basic compare
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

current = AwesomeVersion("1.2.2")
upstream = AwesomeVersion("1.2.3")

print(upstream > current)
> True



Compare beta version
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

current = AwesomeVersion("2021.1.0")
upstream = AwesomeVersion("2021.1.0b2")

print(current > upstream)
> True



Check if version is a beta version
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.3b0").beta)
> True

print(AwesomeVersion("1.2.3").beta)
> False



Use AwesomeVersion with with ...
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

with AwesomeVersion("20.12.0") as current:
with AwesomeVersion("20.12.1") as upstream:
print(upstream > current)
> True



Compare AwesomeVersion with other non-AwesomeVersion formats
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

base = AwesomeVersion("20.12.0")

print(base > "20.12.1")
> False

print(base > "19")
> True

print(base > 5)
> True


General behavior
You can test your versions on the demo page.
Modifiers
When comparing versions with modifiers, if the base version is the same the modifier will be used to determine the order.
If one of the versions do not have a modifier, the one without will be considered newer.
The order of the modifiers are:

No modifier
RC
Beta
Alpha
Dev


Examples
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0.dev6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0.dev19") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b4"))
> False


Special versions (container)
There are some special versions for container that are handled differently than typical version formats.
The special versions are in the following order:

dev (newest)
latest
beta
stable (oldest)

If only the first version is this special version, it will be considered newer.
If only the second version is this special version, it will be considered older.

Examples
from awesomeversion import AwesomeVersion

print(AwesomeVersion("latest") > AwesomeVersion("1.0.0b6"))
> True
print(AwesomeVersion("1.0.0") > AwesomeVersion("latest"))
> False
print(AwesomeVersion("stable") > AwesomeVersion("latest"))
> False
print(AwesomeVersion("beta") > AwesomeVersion("dev"))
> False
