python increment version number by 0.0.1 [duplicate]

Question

We are using versioning. The current version is 0.2.3 i would like to increment by 0.0.1 using python. Getting below error.

tagNumber = 0.2.3 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Python understands versions and makes manipulation of them quite easy - please have a look at the other question linked. — sophros

You could do something like this:

def increment_ver(version):
    version = version.split('.')
    version[2] = str(int(version[2]) + 1)
    return '.'.join(version)
