I've re-done the change using LooseVersion:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/changeset/1205

The diff against the previous code (instead of what I had merged since) 
is here:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/changeset?old_path=%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fsetup.py&old=1203&new_path=%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fsetup.py&new=1205

Let me know if this works/looks ok to you and I'll apply to the stable 
0.3.x and 0.4.x branches.

Thanks
Antoine
