I noticed that with the python2.7 version of distutils.version.LooseVersion let you compare '7' with 'xp' without exceptions (e.g., LooseVersion('7') > LooseVersion('xp')).
If you do the same with python3.6 or python3.7, you'll get the following exception:
* TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'
You can see the full example with complete traceback and differences between python2.x and python3.x here:

There is no need to split the relevant code into a third-party website, especially when it is so small and can be included in-line here.
Python 2.7:
py> import distutils.version
py> distutils.version.LooseVersion('7') > distutils.version.LooseVersion('XP')
False
Python 3.6:
py> import distutils.version
py> distutils.version.LooseVersion('7') > distutils.version.LooseVersion('XP')
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/storage/python/Python-3.6.4/Lib/distutils/version.py", line 64, in __gt__
 c = self._cmp(other)
 File "/storage/python/Python-3.6.4/Lib/distutils/version.py", line 337, in _cmp
 if self.version < other.version:
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'
(By the way, you appear to have a bug in your sys.excepthook handler. At least I can't reproduce the ModuleNotFoundError you are getting.)

Please discuss on #14894 

Thanks and sorry for the duplicate!
