Version

Warning

This tool is experimental and subject to breaking changes.

constructor

def __init__(self, value: str):

Construct a Version object from a string. It supports basic version comparison between objects, like for example:

compiler_lower_than_12 = Version(str(self.settings.compiler.version)) < "12.0"

Please note this is not an implementation of semver, as users may use any pattern in their versions. It is just a helper to parse “.” or “-” and compare taking into account integers when possible.
