conda install doesn't pick up latest version on old python #28

Closed bsipocz closed 4 years ago

bsipocz commented 4 years ago

On python3.5 the latest pytest-astropy releases are not being picked up, it stuck on installing the 0.4.0 version, that was packages up before we switched to noarch. https://travis-ci.org/astroML/astroML/jobs/631161062#L3213

The workaround is trivial for that travis job, but this demonstrates an issue that users might run into, too.

conda pretty much abandoned Python 3.5. There are plenty of problems with other packages too with conda + Python 3.5 combo, not just this (meta)package.

bsipocz commented 4 years ago

yeah, fair enough. Hindsight I should have just switched straight to tox rather than go via ci-helpers.

pllim commented 4 years ago

Or drop Python 3.5? 😬

bsipocz commented 4 years ago

Would be nice, but I can't, we said 3.5+ in the book, so I should stick with that for a while now.

pllim commented 4 years ago

Python 3.5 support is dropped in #29, so closing as won't fix.
