Migrate looseversion to fix distutils issues

[eddtries]

I've submitted a patch to quickly fix the LooseVersion issues stopping undetected-chromedriver working with >= Python 3.12.0 since distutils was deprecated. It uses a third party library without many stars, so there's a risk there, and if someone wants to fix it properly by replacing LooseVersion with a custom type that'd be awesome - this is just a quick fix to get things working if needed.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'looseversion', if python < 3.12.0

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'looseversion', if python < 3.12.0

Did you pip install -r requirements.txt first? If so, what was the output?

If this doesn't work then we'd need to follow the Python 3.12.0 migration guide which is a little more work :(

done, thank you very much.

try:
    from distutils.version import LooseVersion
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    from packaging.version import parse as LooseVersion

Any news on merging this? or? - seems to still be an issue with 3.12.

Recommend using packaging.version.Version instead, since that's part of the stdlib
