minversion

astropy.utils.introspection.minversion(module: ModuleType | str, version: str, inclusive: bool = True) → bool

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

Parameters:

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).
