The interpreter cannot find a module named _version. Make sure that such a module actually exists and that at least one of the following is true:

The module is located in the same directory as your script.
The module is located in the current directory.
The path to the module is present in the environment variable PYTHONPATH.
The path to the module is present in the sys.path list.
