Version checking in __init__.py throws error #670

Closed michaeldzjap closed 8 years ago

michaeldzjap commented 8 years ago

I'm aware that people have reported this before, but it still doesn't seem to be fixed. At least not here on osx 10.11.5. I was able to trace it back to the lines

if requests.__version__ <= '2.2.0':
    raise SystemExit("This program requires Python requests 2.2.0 or later.")

The statement '2.10.0' <= '2.2.0' evaluates to TRUE, where obviously is shouldn't. For now I have just commented out these lines, but could this be fixed?

Thanks in advance
