Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

I am inclined to reject the patch.

LooseVersion is not meant to be a general utility for all modules; I know it’s 
used in the wild but projects should define their parsing/comparison function 
or make up a specific module for that.

If the problem happens from distutils or pip when comparing real distributions 
that really define version='a' and version='1', then modern setuptools or flit 
or twine will warn about that.
