Adam Chainz 95c0108f40 Convert readthedocs links for their .org -> .io migration for hosted projects
As per [their blog post of the 27th April](https://blog.readthedocs.com/securing-subdomains/) ‘Securing subdomains’:

> Starting today, Read the Docs will start hosting projects from subdomains on the domain readthedocs.io, instead of on readthedocs.org. This change addresses some security concerns around site cookies while hosting user generated data on the same domain as our dashboard.

Test Plan: Manually visited all the links I’ve modified.

python-semanticversion
======================
This small python library provides a few tools to handle `SemVer`_ in Python.
It follows strictly the 2.0.0 version of the SemVer scheme.

Getting started
===============
Install the package from `PyPI`_, using pip:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install semantic_version
Or from GitHub:
.. code-block:: sh
$ git clone git://github.com/rbarrois/python-semanticversion.git
Import it in your code:
.. code-block:: python
import semantic_version
.. currentmodule:: semantic_version
This module provides two classes to handle semantic versions:
- :class:`Version` represents a version number (``0.1.1-alpha+build.2012-05-15``)
- :class:`Spec` represents a requirement specification (``>=0.1.1,<0.3.0``)
Versions
--------
Defining a :class:`Version` is quite simple:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import semantic_version
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1.1')
>>> v.major
0
>>> v.minor
1
>>> v.patch
1
>>> v.prerelease
[]
>>> v.build
[]
>>> list(v)
[0, 1, 1, [], []]
If the provided version string is invalid, a :exc:`ValueError` will be raised:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line 64, in __init__
major, minor, patch, prerelease, build = self.parse(version_string, partial)
File "/Users/rbarrois/dev/semantic_version/src/semantic_version/base.py", line 86, in parse
raise ValueError('Invalid version string: %r' % version_string)
ValueError: Invalid version string: '0.1'
In order to define "relaxed" version strings, you must pass in ``partial=True``:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1', partial=True)
>>> list(v)
[0, 1, None, None, None]
Obviously, :class:`Versions <Version>` can be compared:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') < semantic_version.Version('0.1.2')
True
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') > semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-alpha')
True
>>> semantic_version.Version('0.1.1') <= semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-alpha')
False
You can also get a new version that represents a bump in one of the version levels:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('0.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_major()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.0.0'
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_minor()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.2.0'
>>> v = semantic_version.Version('1.1.1-pre+build')
>>> new_v = v.next_patch()
>>> str(new_v)
'1.1.2'
It is also possible to check whether a given string is a proper semantic version string:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> semantic_version.validate('0.1.3')
True
>>> semantic_version.validate('0a2')
False
Requirement specification
-------------------------
The :class:`Spec` object describes a range of accepted versions:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.1') # At least 0.1.1
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.1'))
True
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.1-alpha1')) # pre-release satisfy version spec
True
>>> s.match(Version('0.1.0'))
False
Simpler test syntax is also available using the ``in`` keyword:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> s = Spec('==0.1.1')
>>> Version('0.1.1-alpha1') in s
True
>>> Version('0.1.2') in s
False
Combining specifications can be expressed in two ways:
- Components separated by commas in a single string:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Spec('>=0.1.1,<0.3.0')
- Components given as different arguments:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Spec('>=0.1.1', '<0.3.0')
- A mix of both versions:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Spec('>=0.1.1', '!=0.2.4-alpha,<0.3.0')
Using a specification
"""""""""""""""""""""
The :func:`Spec.filter` method filters an iterable of :class:`Version`:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.0,<0.4.0')
>>> versions = (Version('0.%d.0' % i) for i in range(6))
>>> for v in s.filter(versions):
... print v
0.1.0
0.2.0
0.3.0
It is also possible to select the 'best' version from such iterables:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> s = Spec('>=0.1.0,<0.4.0')
>>> versions = (Version('0.%d.0' % i) for i in range(6))
>>> s.select(versions)
Version('0.3.0')
Coercing an arbitrary version string
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Some user-supplied input might not match the semantic version scheme.
For such cases, the :meth:`Version.coerce` method will try to convert any
version-like string into a valid semver version:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Version.coerce('0')
Version('0.0.0')
>>> Version.coerce('0.1.2.3.4')
Version('0.1.2+3.4')
>>> Version.coerce('0.1.2a3')
Version('0.1.2-a3')
Including pre-release identifiers in specifications
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
When testing a :class:`Version` against a :class:`Spec`, comparisons are only
performed for components defined in the :class:`Spec`; thus, a pre-release
version (``1.0.0-alpha``), while not strictly equal to the non pre-release
version (``1.0.0``), satisfies the ``==1.0.0`` :class:`Spec`.
Pre-release identifiers will only be compared if included in the :class:`Spec`
definition or (for the empty pre-release number) if a single dash is appended
(``1.0.0-``):
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Version('0.1.0-alpha') in Spec('>=0.1.0') # No pre-release identifier
True
>>> Version('0.1.0-alpha') in Spec('>=0.1.0-') # Include pre-release in checks
False
Including build metadata in specifications
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Build metadata has no ordering; thus, the only meaningful comparison including
build metadata is equality.
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> Version('1.0.0+build2') in Spec('<=1.0.0') # Build metadata ignored
True
>>> Version('1.0.0+build2') in Spec('==1.0.0+build2') # Include build in checks
False
Using with Django
=================
The :mod:`semantic_version.django_fields` module provides django fields to
store :class:`Version` or :class:`Spec` objects.
More documentation is available in the :doc:`django` section.
