This is great. However, I don't think we should need to create a version subclass. Can't we just use python's existing version support:

r+ with that change or a convincing argument on why we need to roll our own. :)

Oh cool, I didn't know about that. Distutils is so full of undocumented surprises (also I think some python docstrings just called me anal).

I'll update and re-test the patch before pushing.
