3. Information about the python3-looseversion package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package python3-looseversion:
---------------------------------------------
Repository : Update repository with updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15
Name : python3-looseversion
Version : 1.0.2-150100.3.3.1
Arch : noarch
Vendor : SUSE LLC
Installed Size : 22.8 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : python-looseversion-1.0.2-150100.3.3.1.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/effigies/looseversion
Summary : A backwards/forwards-compatible fork of distutils.version.LooseVersion
Description :
A backwards/forwards-compatible fork of distutils.version.LooseVersion, for times when PEP-440 isn't what you need.
The goal of this package is to be a drop-in replacement for the original LooseVersion. It implements an identical interface and comparison logic to LooseVersion. The only major change is that a looseversion.LooseVersion is comparable to a distutils.version.LooseVersion, which means tools should not need to worry whether all dependencies that use LooseVersion have migrated.
If you are simply comparing versions of Python packages, consider moving to packaging.version.Version, which follows PEP-440. LooseVersion is better suited to interacting with heterogeneous version schemes that do not follow PEP-440.
