I noticed that with the python2.7 version of distutils.version.LooseVersion let you compare '7' with 'xp' without exceptions (e.g., LooseVersion('7') > LooseVersion('xp')). If you do the same with python3.6 or python3.7, you'll get the following exception: * TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str' You can see the full example with complete traceback and differences between python2.x and python3.x here: * https://pastebin.com/kAwUTihe Thanks, davide
