Description: # Compare package versions in all their varied glory.
        
        ## Description
        
        This module provides the `compare()` function which compares two
        version strings and returns a negative value, zero, or a positive
        value depending on whether the first string represents a version
        number lower than, equal to, or higher than the second one, and
        the `key_compare()` function which may be used as a key for e.g.
        `sorted()`.
        
        This module does not strive for completeness in the formats of
        version strings that it supports. Some version strings sorted by
        its rules are:
        
        - 0.1.0
        - 0.2.alpha
        - 0.2
        - 0.2.1
        - 0.2a
        - 0.2a.1
        - 0.2p3
        - 1.0.beta
        - 1.0.beta.2
        - 1.0

        ## Version history
        
        ### 1.0.0
        
        - reformat the source code using black 20
        - drop Python 2.x compatibility:
          - use types and modules from the Python 3 standard library
          - use type annotations, not type hints
          - subclass NamedTuple, using Python 3.6 variable type annotations
        - switch to a declarative setup.cfg file
        - install the module into the `unit_tests` tox environment
        - add a PEP 517 buildsystem definition to the pyproject.toml file
        - add the py.typed marker
        - push the source down into a src/ subdirectory
        - add a command-line utility exposing some of the functionality
        - add a shell tool for testing the command-line utility
        - add a manual page generated from an scdoc source file
