This problem is caused by having a more recent version of the semantic_version pip package.

Using an older version (pip install 'semantic_version==2.6.0') fixed the problem for me.

6 years later, that answer is the good one !
With python 2.7 not supported after 2020/01/01 the semantic_version installed by default is still too high for the slim partition command !
