We should only be updating to releases, not dev or alpha or any other non-released state. That is why the regex is they way it is.

Some pypi packages do have suffixes like dev, or a0 or b1.
When doing a version check on these, the version will get falsely
trimmed down to a version without the suffix.

E.g. 3.8.0a1 will become 3.8.0 which then also means that
a version upgrade from 3.8.0a1 to 3.8.0a2 will not be detected.

Fix that by inserting an optional suffix group with alphanumeric charset.
