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)
