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

Don’t know if you’ve seen my previous message:

I think that most tools (e.g. setuptools) generate things like 1.0.2+gitab25c6fe95ee92fac3187dcd90e0560ccacb084a i.e. real version set by maintainer + hash, not just the hash.

I was talking about a version number set by the author, typically 0.1, not a VCS tag.
