:class:`VersionNumber`
======================

.. py:class:: ansys.tools.versioning.utils.VersionNumber

   
   Class for version comparison.

   This class can be instantiated from a string or an integer.
   The constructor will choose the corresponding class.

   Any combination of 'dev' and integers will be considered as a string.
   'dev' is considered as the highest version number possible.














   .. rubric:: Examples

   >>> from ansys.tools.versioning.utils import VersionNumber
   >>> VersionNumber(1)
   1
   >>> VersionNumber("dev")
   'dev'
   >>> VersionNumber(1) <= VersionNumber("dev")
   True
   >>> VersionNumber(99999) >= VersionNumber("dev")
   False
   >>> VersionNumber("dev") == VersionNumber("dev1")
   False
   >>> VersionNumber("dev") != VersionNumber("dev1")
   True
