PEP 440 contains a section that claims:

> Summary of differences from pkg_resources.parse_version \
> [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#id63] 
> * Local versions sort differently, this PEP requires that they sort as greater than \
> the same version without a local version, whereas pkg_resources.parse_version \
> considers it a pre-release marker.

I haven't been able to find any mention of this in the setuptools changelogs, but \
this no longer seems to be the case:

    >>> from pkg_resources import parse_version
    >>> parse_version('1.0.0+dev') > parse_version('1.0.0')
    True

Thus, it might be good to change the comment in the PEP accordingly (ideally, someone \
is able to figure out in which version of setuptools parse_version started to be \
compatible with PEP440).

Best,
Michael Goerz
