Eric's suggestion of NormalizedVersion sounds best to me - it exactly describes the intended role of the class.

Done. Steve Steiner added a nice functional test that tries the scheme on all pypi versions:

MacZiade:distutilsver tarek$ nosetests -s . Loading saved pypi data... Results:

Total Packages : 8654 Already Match : 7604.0 (87.87%) Have Suggestion : 624.0 (7.21%) No Suggestion : 426.0 (4.92%) ......

Ran 6 tests in 0.463s

OK

IOW, the current scheme works as-is for 88% of the packages, and is able to transform 7% of the remainings. The 5% that are not workable are mostly packages with versions like : (extracts)

Furthermore, I've seen some patterns in those 5% that can be worked out so I'll probably be able to lower it to 3%
