Is there documentation somewhere for python-apt in python3?

I'm trying to import apt in python3 so I can use its VersionCompare() method. I keep getting 'module not found' types of errors. I'm using a mac. I tried brew install python-apt to no avail. Is there a version of apt in python3 or is there another way to compare versions that's simple?

I need to compare versions that are alpha-numeric, not pure integers.

You can use parse_version from pkg_resources which is part of setuptools which I presume you have installed:

>>> from pkg_resources import parse_version
>>> parse_version('2.0a') > parse_version('1.0-a0-dev')
True
>>> parse_version('2.0a') > parse_version('2.0-b-dev')
False
