     A version declaration is a series of conditional operators and

     specified in `PEP 386`_:  they should correspond to the
     version scheme used by the external dependency.
 
     Any number of conditional operators can be specified, e.g.
     the string ">1.0, !=1.3.4, <2.0" is a legal version declaration.

-External References Registry
-============================
-
-Stores in the `Python Package Index`_ database a list of (name, description,
-URI) identifying an external reference that may be used as a value in
-a Requires-External field.
-
-The name and description are required, but URI is not (as there is no
-single useful URI for "C").
-
-Submissions to the registry are open to the community, and may be performed
-through the web or using the command-line.
-
-The names in the registry will be created under a first-comes first-wins
-basis. Other packagers of Python software (eg. to deb, rpm, etc) should be
-able to translate the `Requires-external` field to names in their own
-packaging system.
-
-XXX command-line interface needs work, obviously
