versions ending with .0 - Skaperen - Jun-05-2019
are Python version numbers ending with
.0 equivalent to the same version with the .0 removed? such as 3.7.0 is 3.7 and 3.o is 3 and 2.4.0 is 2.4 and so on?

Its MAJOR.MINOR.BUGFIX
Usually 3.7 refers to 3.7.x, any of the bugfix versions. 3 refers to any minor update 3.x.x
RE: versions ending with .0 - Skaperen - Jun-05-2019
but my question is whether to keep the
.0 at the end of a version or drop it? is it 3.7 or 3.7.0? suppose you have a dictionary indexed with version keys as tuples, like (3,7,3) for the version released on 25 March 2019. but you want to lookup 3.7. do you use (3,7) or (3,7,0) as the key?
