Fix version comparison logic

[stevebeck89]

Recommended fix for Issue https://github.com/tomoh1r/ansible-vault/issues/32

Update version comparison to use pkg_resources, using this instead of packaging.version.parse for backwards compatibility.

Tested the pkg_resources.parse_version and comparison logic in python 2.7.16 and 3.6.5.

@tomoh1r Could you take a look at this? It's blocking using this library with ansible 2.10+

I'm blocked by this too. @stevebeck89 fix looks good to me. I too would love to see pull request accepted so ansible_vault package can be used with ansible 2.10+

This backwards compatibility logic is blocking me too.

any chance of someone forking this project to maintain it?

The entire project is 50 lines. We reimplemented the few parts we use directly.

The few parts are indeed actually 4 lines:

from ansible.parsing.vault import VaultLib, VaultSecret
from ansible.constants import DEFAULT_VAULT_ID_MATCH

vault = VaultLib([(DEFAULT_VAULT_ID_MATCH, VaultSecret(passwd.encode()))])
secrets = yaml.safe_load(vault.decrypt(open("./vault.yml").read()))
