     Turns out Bash wanted it to be like this instead:

     bash-5.2$ if [[ 'Python 3.12.8' =~ ^'Python 3.12' ]]; then echo foo; fi foo bash-5.2$

     Yes, . matches only a literal period.

     @tk I have a mental sticky note that says “Don't put quotes of any kind around the regular expression in a `[[ =~ ]]` test”. My go-to template is to instead store the regex in a variable and then call it without quotes: `re='^foo'; if [[ "$myvar" =~ $re ]]`

     No idea how the black magic works. Ooga booga.

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com correct, [[ is very much a bashism <3 <3 but youre using it right. man 7 regex lists all the special rules for matching literals... awful stuff...

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com sed or perl are my gotos -- look, no matter what you have to call some program to check what it is, why use a butter knife when we have lightsabers?

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com also when it comes to shit like semantic versions (and checking for which is which), perl has modules for that shiz already.

     @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com (not to shit on grep, ofc, i'm sure it's also fine for this specific task)

     @tk @purple Well there's expr string : regex if you want to portably regex on a string and so avoid the bashim of [[…]].

     @tk @purple Although must say I love the idea of grabbing Perl to deal with (Python) versions, could easily end up the kind of thing I'd pull :D

     @purple @tk how so? Typical systems in there being too minimalist?
