A potential gotcha here is that the rc version comparisons have changed between distutils and packaging:

In [1]: from distutils.version import LooseVersion, StrictVersion
In [2]: from packaging.version import Version

In [4]: LooseVersion('1.0-rc2') > LooseVersion('1.0')
Out[4]: True

In [5]: LooseVersion('1.0-rc2') >= LooseVersion('1.0')
Out[5]: True

In [6]: LooseVersion('1.0-rc2') < LooseVersion('1.0')
Out[6]: False

In [7]: Version('1.0-rc2') > Version('1.0')
Out[7]: False

In [8]: Version('1.0-rc2') >= Version('1.0')
Out[8]: False

In [9]: Version('1.0-rc2') < Version('1.0')
Out[9]: True

However given that the version in question is Django 2.0.x a simple alternative might be to drop support for Django < 3 and drop this version check entirely.
