A backwards/forwards-compatible fork of `distutils.version.LooseVersion`, for times when PEP-440 isn't what you need. The goal of this package is to be a drop-in replacement for the original `LooseVersion`. It implements an identical interface and comparison logic to `LooseVersion`. The only major change is that a `looseversion.LooseVersion` is comparable to a `distutils.version.LooseVersion`, which means tools should not need to worry whether all dependencies that use LooseVersion have migrated. If you are simply comparing versions of Python packages, consider moving to `packaging.version.Version', which follows PEP-440. `LooseVersion` is better suited to interacting with heterogeneous version schemes that do not follow PEP-440.
