The exception is thrown when calling StrictVersion.

StrictVersion is version numbering. A version number consists of two or three dot-separated numeric components, with an optional "pre-release" tag on the end. The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b' followed by a number.

When you are using invalid version numbers, you will get an error.

Here is some invalid version numbers example:

        1
        2.7.2.2
        1.3.a4
        1.3pl1
        1.3c4

To reproduce an error

from distutils.version import StrictVersion

version = StrictVersion('1.3.a4')
print(version)

Fix code:

from distutils.version import StrictVersion

version = StrictVersion('0.9.6')
print(version)
