32 Reusable core utilities for various Python Packaging
33 `interoperability specifications <https://packaging.python.org/specifications/>`_.
35 This library provides utilities that implement the interoperability
36 specifications which have clearly one correct behaviour (eg: :pep:`440`)
37 or benefit greatly from having a single shared implementation (eg: :pep:`425`).
41 The ``packaging`` project includes the following: version handling, specifiers,
42 markers, requirements, tags, utilities.
47 The `documentation`_ provides information and the API for the following:
59 Use ``pip`` to install these utilities::
63 The ``packaging`` library uses calendar-based versioning (``YY.N``).
68 If you run into bugs, you can file them in our `issue tracker`_.
70 You can also join ``#pypa`` on Freenode to ask questions or get involved.
