+@code{LooseVersion}.  It implements an identical interface and comparison
+logic to @code{LooseVersion}.  The only major change is that a
+@code{looseversion.LooseVersion} is comparable to a
+@code{distutils.version.LooseVersion}, which means tools should not need to
+worry whether all dependencies that use LooseVersion have migrated.")
