Additional information
I created a VM with Debian and installed it using pip, then using Docker and it worked without problems. I believe the defect is in the package contained in the Black Arch repository.

So, BlackArch is weird. It's the only distro that's still using some esoteric versioning scheme rather than semver, despite many months having passed since Sherlock's adoption of (sorta-)semver. That being said, the BlackArch repo is currently showing version 2460.9e111a3 for 9e111a3 (as of four days ago), so it doesn't seem far behind, despite being odd.
That error message is certainly something you'd see from a 0.14.3 build, though (or maybe 0.14.4).
I have to ask just to be thorough -- are you sure you're up to date?
There are several things wrong with the BlackArch PKGBUILD, but I'm not sure if they would cause issues with distrib. And if they do, I'm not sure where the old version is coming from, considering it's no longer available on the pkgbuild repo.
I found where I was going wrong, my blackarch repository is pointing to a mirror in germany that contains the outdated package, with version 0.14.4. I pointed to a mirror in the US, and the problem was solved. Here's the mirror with the outdated package.
