family.versionnumber now uses a regex:

        R = re.compile(r"(\d+).(\d+)")
        M = R.search(self.version(code))

and then returns the following:

return 1000 * int(M.group(1)) + int(M.group(2)) - 1000


so 1.10 is 10, 1.21 is 21, and 2.15 is 1015 (?!).



We should probably either use "from distutils.version import StrictVersion" or parse the version in a (major, minor, sub) tuple.
