Fails to build with current Pythons: setuptools.extern.packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: ''

This has been working fine earlier, but now fails:

I got this problem with pcapdump module installing too, and the lower version of setuptools DOES NOT work neither ! Any solutions?

I have same issue

[kenballus]

It builds if you change the version to '1.0' in setup.py.
