3.12. Increasing Parts of a Version Taking into Account Prereleases¶

New in version 2.10.0: Added next_version().

If you want to raise your version and take prereleases into account, the function next_version() would perhaps a better fit.

>>> v = Version.parse("3.4.5-pre.2+build.4")
>>> str(v.next_version(part="prerelease"))
'3.4.5-pre.3'
>>> str(Version.parse("3.4.5-pre.2+build.4").next_version(part="patch"))
'3.4.5'
>>> str(Version.parse("3.4.5+build.4").next_version(part="patch"))
'3.4.5'
>>> str(Version.parse("0.1.4").next_version("prerelease"))
'0.1.5-rc.1'
