Description: # looseversion - Version numbering for anarchists and software realists
        
        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](https://packaging.pypa.io/en/latest/version.html#packaging.version.Version),
        which follows [PEP-440](https://peps.python.org/pep-0440).
        `LooseVersion` is better suited to interacting with heterogeneous version schemes that
        do not follow PEP-440.
