mypy type hints

[dacevedo12]

would be nice to have type hints added to the library

mypy currently complains due to univers: module is installed, but missing library stubs or py.typed marker

@dacevedo12 thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will look into this.

@dacevedo12 a patch would be mucho welcomed!
Would you also be working on a vers implementation in Go at https://github.com/fluidattacks/compare_version/ ?

vers is at package-url/purl-spec#139

Hi @pombredanne

regarding vers, not really, the project you linked was a workaround attempt.

we needed a universal version comparison solution that could be called from python code, but hadn't yet discovered this great library so we were hacking around subprocess calls to that go cli

@dacevedo12 if you can help with mypy'ing the code this would be awesome!
FWIW, Google also use univers in OSV https://github.com/google/osv.dev/tree/master/osv/third_party/univers
