Hi all,

I recently used versioneer for publishing my library on PyPi. However, the default setting for the version string style is style = pep440, which in my case produced version strings which were not accepted by PyPi yielding the following error:

ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/        
         '0.0.3+0.ga7bcbda.dirty' is an invalid value for Version. Error: Can't 
         use PEP 440 local versions.

In the end changing the style parameter to style = pep440-pre solved the issue. I am now wondering if this was a special case for me or not, hence have you ever experienced this before?
If so I would suggest changing the default setting to a format which is compatible with PyPi, since this is a major database for distribution of Python libraries.

Cheers,
Aaron
