Specifically the answer to the question about accessing version 
information in future releases of distlib was:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0426/#version

which references:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/

PEP 440 replaces PEP 386. A few months ago I was curious about how Erik 
Rose was validating version information in peep and wrote a little 
script which interogates Pypi for how many releases are PEP 386 compliant:

It turns out the overwhelming majority of releases on Pypi are PEP 386 
compliant:
