Root Cause

The version string contains invalid characters or format that setuptools cannot parse, e.g., using commas or spaces.

generic

中文

版本字符串包含 setuptools 无法解析的无效字符或格式，例如使用逗号或空格。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Use a valid PEP 440 version string 
    Change to '1.0.0' (ensure only dots and digits).
  2. 90% success Use setuptools_scm to auto-generate versions from git tags 
    Install setuptools_scm and configure in setup.cfg: [tool:setuptools_scm]

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Adding a trailing 'v' to the version 90% fail

    Versions must start with a digit.

  2. Using a version like '1,0,0' with commas 80% fail

    Commas are not valid separators.
