# minversion

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

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

  Deprecated since version ``version_path``: is not used anymore and is deprecated in `astropy` 5.0.

  Parameters:
    module python:module or `str`

      An imported module of which to check the version, or the name of that module (in which case an import of that module is attempted– if this fails `False` is returned).

    version `str`

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

    inclusive `bool`

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

  Examples

      >>> import astropy
      >>> minversion(astropy, '0.4.4')
      True
