[issue14894] distutils.LooseVersion fails to compare number and a word

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

I’m still torn between improving this as best as we can and waiting for clean new spec and code.  Last PyCon Nick said he had a PEP in mind to specify how distutils would be updated to support new standards; I think we’ll revisit this issue when that policy exists.
