google-api-python-client Version Check is broken

Hi All, I cannot use io.gbq due to an issue with the version check of the installed google library.

>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('google-api-python-client').version
'1.2'

The offending line executes the version check as follows:

>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('google-api-python-client').version < '1.2.0'
True

but

>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('google-api-python-client').version < '1.2'
False

Provide feedback
