It's a known issue[1]. A workaround is to edit the file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py. Remove the following block beginning on line 1112

       ignore_servers = list(
           map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
       )

and replace it with

        ignore_servers = [
		    int(i) for i in server_config['ignoreids'].split(',') if i
		]

Hopefully the issue will be fixed in the next stable point release.
