Requires-Python error message should not sort versions numerically, not alphabetically #13367
Description
Description
In the following example, it looks to the human eye like all python versions >= 3.9 are supported by the package. However, since the versions are sorted alphabetically, 3.13 is placed between 3.1 and 3.2.
It would be a nicer user experience if 3.13 was placed at the end, after 3.9. It tricked me, at least.
ERROR: Ignored the following versions that require a different python version: <truncated to make it clearer> 1.17.2
Requires-Python !=2.7.*,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.13.*,!=3.2.*,!=3.3.*,!=3.4.*,!=3.5.*,!=3.6.*,!=3.7.*,!=3.8.*,>=3.9
# ^^^^^^^^ 3.13 listed here!If the disallowed versions were colored in red and the allowed version in green, that would make it even more obvious.
Expected behavior
Requires-Python !=2.7.*,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.2.*,!=3.3.*,!=3.4.*,!=3.5.*,!=3.6.*,!=3.7.*,!=3.8.*,>=3.9,!=3.13.*
pip version
25.1
Python version
3.13
OS
Windows and Ubuntu
How to Reproduce
This reproduces at least on Windows and Ubuntu, haven't checked Mac.
uv venv --python 3.13
# activate the way you would
uv pip install pip==25.1 # explicitly showing on 25.1
pip install promptflow-devkit==1.17.2
