Seeing the same.

Looks like the StrictVersion in distutils.version does not support version numbers that contain the word beta. In their mind beta versions should be named something like 0.66.0b0.

Would make sense to ise Setuptools instead of StrictVersion? See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386/ for details.

Argh, I tested it locally with a different value than the value I pushed. I will remove the .
