Helpers for comparing version strings.

oslo_utils.versionutils.convert_version_to_int(version)¶

Convert a version to an integer.

version must be a string with dots or a tuple of integers.

oslo_utils.versionutils.is_compatible(requested_version, current_version, same_major=True)¶

Determine whether requested_version is satisfied by current_version; in other words, current_version is >= requested_version.

Parameters:	requested_version – version to check for compatibility current_version – version to check against same_major – if True, the major version must be identical between requested_version and current_version. This is used when a major-version difference indicates incompatibility between the two versions. Since this is the common-case in practice, the default is True.
Returns:	True if compatible, False if not
