| The self.version used in Version._cmp is a List in LooseVersion's implementation, a Tuple in StrictVersion's implementation. Attempting to compare Strict & Loose versions results in a TypeError. I'd like to PR a fix, but I'd like to know if I'm being stupid first :) | ||

| Hello! Are you seeing this problem when building or installing some package, or are you using the classes directly? If it’s the latter, I would recommand you to use https://pypi.org/project/packaging/ rather than distutils, which is not meant to be used as a generic library. | ||

| I'm using these classes directly to parse semantic-ish versions in metadata for Munki packages (a package manager for MacOS). Looks like this packaging library is what I should use. Thanks you!
