03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT
uqfoundation/multiprocess #59 · read the original issue
The fall-back-to-previous-version logic in setup.py can potentially infinite loop due to floating point precision issues. For example, try running the multiprocess-0.70.7 tag with python 3.8. One solution would be to use `decimal.Decimal` and bound the loop, but I don't think that's a good long term solution because once we move onto two-digit minor versions, then suddenly 3.11 will not be able to find 3.10. What it should really do is fix the major version and decrement minor versions as integers until a match is found (or it goes negative).
