django.contrib.gis.geos can't parse version string "3.6.2-CAPI-1.10.2 4d2925d6"

[Lyle Scott III]

I updated Python via brew yesterday (3.6.1 to 3.6.2) and have been having problems running Django since then. #28441 references the issue, but for Django 1.11.x. Looking at the PR for that ticket, ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/8817, it looks like that is not a clean patch to Django 1.10.x

• macOS Sierra - 10.12.5 (16F73)
• Homebrew 1.2.5
• Python 3.6.2 from brew

It just looks like the regex is off. This is a management command, but the error show its self in many utilities.

Per our ​supported versions policy, 1.10 is only receiving fixes for security and data loss issues, so we won't fix this issue there.

Closing as duplicate of #28441.
