Complex filters #52
Description
hi, I'm trying to use python-semver for more complex comparison :)
>>> semver.match('6.2.3', '>=6,<6.2.1|>=4.0.0-rc2,<4.2.4|>=5,<5.3.1')
which should match according to the rules composer does it. This is obviously currently not supported but I would really love it to have a method for something like this :)

Hi! You can use a simple Python operators meanwhile to combine comparisons, but I wouldn't mind having a separate API for parsing something like this.
Care to make a PR?

@k-bx I've hacked together a bunch of code to parse it successfully, I'm trying to clean it up.
Since you're the author of an semver parser, how should I handle
>=6?This currently causes an exception because it's not valid semver and I currently translate it to
>=6.0.0, which I'm not sure is correct. Do you have an opinion on this?k-bx commentedon Mar 30, 2017
Yeah. My opinion is — need to make sure semver code is strictly following semver spec, and having the rest additional functionality kept separate and clearly stating that :)

@kpcyrd maybe you should ask at https://github.com/semver/semver to improve semver specification to add this concept of complex filters.
When a "standard" will emerge we will happily accept PR about it.
