Requires-Dist: zope.interface (3.1.0)   ==> only 3.1.0 For completeness, isn't this really "any versino which starts with 3.1.0, not including post- or pre- releases"?  That particular pacakge doesn't use more than a third version component, but there are packages in the wild which use four.

Requires-Python: 2.6.2                         ==> only Python 2.6.2 Here, the issue is only theoretical:  Python dosn't issue "fourth dot" releases.

Both points are right. I'll remove from the PEP the range operator and provide a definition for 2.5 vs 2.5.x vs 2.5.0, as well as all these examples, corrected.
