    # So, we generate each possible interepretation (e.g. "adns, python-1.1.0"

    # the spurious interpretations should be ignored, because in the event
    # there's also an "adns" package, the spurious "python-1.1.0" version will
    # compare lower than any numeric version number, and is therefore unlikely
    # to match a request for it.  It's still a potential problem, though, and
    # in the long run PyPI and the distutils should go for "safe" names and
    # versions in distribution archive names (sdist and bdist).
