minversion

astropy.utils.introspection.minversion(module, version, inclusive=True)

Returns True if the specified Python module satisfies a minimum version requirement, and False if not.

Parameters:

modulemodule or str

An imported module of which to check the version, or the name of that module.

Changed in version 8.1.0: No dynamic import is attempted if a module is passed by name. Instead, metadata is looked up from an installed package without executing it.

versionstr

The version as a string that this module must have at a minimum (e.g. '0.12').

inclusivebool

The specified version meets the requirement inclusively (i.e. >=) as opposed to strictly greater than (default: True).

Examples

>>> import numpy
>>> minversion(numpy, '1.21.0')
True
