Installation issue # Invalid version #

Hello!

I'm trying to install diffxpy on a docker.
I have already installed the batchglm and checked running python -m unittest with success.

I'm encountering the following error:
What am I missing??

Same issue here! I wonder if the author is maintaining this package because the previous version also had other issues, and even the tutorial cannot run properly.
