When a tool needs to work with versions, the best strategy is to use
``suggest_rational_version`` on the versions string. If this function returns
``None``, it means that the provided version is not close enough to the
standard scheme::
>>> from verlib import suggest_rational_version, RationalVersion
>>> def validate_version(version):
... rversion = suggest_rational_version(version)
... if rversion is None:
... raise ValueError('Cannot work with %s' % version)
... return RationalVersion(rversion)
...
>>> validate_version('2.4rc1')
RationalVersion('2.4c1')
>>> validate_version('foo')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Cannot work with foo
>>> validate_version('1.24.33')
RationalVersion('1.24.33c1')
>>> validate_version('1.24.330pre1')
RationalVersion('1.24.330c1')
>>> validate_version('2008.12.11')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Cannot work with 2008.12.11
