Summary

Calling the top-level match method emits a PendingDeprecationWarning regardless of the provided inputs

Environment and Version

• Python version: 3.11.3 (conda-forge)
• semantic_version version: '2.10.0'
• Operating system: Linux x64

Steps to Reproduce

>>> import warnings
>>> import semantic_version as semver
>>> warnings.simplefilter("always")
>>> semver.match(">1.19.2", "1.19.3")

produces:

/path/to/my/virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/semantic_version/base.py:600: PendingDeprecationWarning: The Spec() class will be removed in 3.1; use SimpleSpec() instead.
  return Spec(spec).match(Version(version))
True

Workaround

Being hyper-explicit in my call:

>>>  semver.SimpleSpec(">1.19.2").match(semver.Version("1.19.3"))

will produce the desired result with no warning

Severity

Annoyance. I'm using this as a dependency in a personal project, and the deprecation shows up all over my test logs. Given that the API seems to be somewhat in flux, I'd prefer to rely on the simple string-matching method, unless that too is deprecated.

Desired Outcome

Looking at the current implementation:

It seems like it would be a simple matter of changing:

def match(spec, version): 
-    return Spec(spec).match(Version(version))
+    return SimpleSpec(spec).match(Version(version)) 

but if the intent is to wean users off of the direct match method, then the current behavior makes sense.
