Version parsing for PEP517 non-compliant Python packages #123

Closed pilosus closed 1 year ago

pilosus commented 1 year ago

It seems that older formats of Python packages have problems when parsing version from PyPI Simple API, e.g.

pyasn1-0.4.8-py3.5.egg results in 1-0 version, iso3166-0.7.zip results in 3166-0 version, pyasn1_modules-0.0.1a-py2.4.egg results in 1 version.

We may want to fix the default version parser and eggs files specifically.
