Hi HN folks, I was debugging legacy Python code using "distutils.StrictVersion", and I went to the definition of this function to understand what it is doing. Reading the documentation made me laugh, so I decided to share with you this easter egg. If you feel like an anarchist and software realist, you can look at the "LooseVersion". Have a nice day.
