class_docstr: This class abstracts handling of version specifiers.
  
  .. tip::
  
      It is generally not required to instantiate this manually. You should instead
      prefer to work with :class:`SpecifierSet` instead, which can parse
      comma-separated version specifiers (which is what package metadata contains).
docstr: Whether or not the two Specifier-like objects are equal.
  
  :param other: The other object to check against.
  
  The value of :attr:`prereleases` is ignored.
  
  >>> Specifier("==1.2.3") == Specifier("== 1.2.3.0")
