No, it probably just means that I need to change the above code to issue a
warning instead of an error and treat the version as '' in that case. When
it was trapped as an AttributeError, there was no way to find the problem,
but this makes it clear that *not* trapping the error is also a
problem. So I guess I'll have to change it to issue a warning instead.
