> something like 2023.x as pip does

Not sure what you mean by that. The version of pip currently installed on my laptop is 23.3.1. Did you mean some other package, such as pytz?



23 comes from 2023. Pip uses calendar based versioning. The 23.3.1 means 2023, 3rd quarter, second release. The last number is for bug fix release. The first two numbers are purely date based and do not follow semvar.


D'oh. All those years I've never noticed that. Thanks for the info.
