Logical OR for version specifiers

See original GitHub issue

According to PEP 440,

The comma (“,”) is equivalent to a logical and operator: a candidate version must match all given version clauses in order to match the specifier as a whole.

There does not seem to be an equivalent for logical or.

For example, if slash (“/”) was used for this,

>=2.7,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.2.*

could be simplified using compatible release operators:

~=2.7/~=3.3

Actually this idea is not possible because the requirement specifier is not a logically complete system (parentheses are not supported). So a PEP will be required; I would recommend that you join distutils-sig and propose this idea there.

I don’t think the json metadata is moving forward.
