setup incorrectly fails to detect mpl version > 0.99.1.1 #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
$> python setup.py build 
The HTML 5 Canvas Backend requires matplotlib 0.99.1.1 or newer. Your version 
(1.0.0) appears older than this. Unable to continue...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The build should continue, instead of being aborted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN r7 (june 24, 2010); Mac OS X

Please provide any additional information below.
Shouldn't version checking be replaced by feature detection? That seems to be 
the general recommendation for Python module dependencies.
In addition, mpl 0.99.0 would pass the check, but isn't in agreement with 
apparent requirement of > 0.99.1.1

Fixed in SVN r8; latest tarball was still r7, hence the mistaken report.

With r14, this still breaks with matplotlib's dev version:

In [2]: mpl.__version__
Out[2]: '1.0.svn'

Fails in this case as well. Simple solution is just to comment out the if block 
and then install.

I[2]: __version__
O[2]: '1.1.0svn'
