I'm not sure what to do about https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/3621 either. In general, I think it is best to have strings like this left in their native mode, not coerced to unicode, but that is contrary to the strategy decided upon when "from __future__ import unicode_literals" was adopted.
Mike, what do you think--are other projects going to run into this problem, triggered by a bug in LooseVersion?
