astroquery version requirement

[juliengirard]

Reinstalling from scratch today:

I noticed it complains if astroquery is too recent, works with

pip install astroquery==0.4.9

doesn't with

pip install astroquery==0.4.10
pip install astroquery==0.4.11

because it seems to consider 0.4.10 is < 0.4.2

Starting over from scratch just now, it installed astroquery 0.4.11 with no error. I didn't explicitly ask it to install astroquery. It was installed as part of the pip install jwst_mast_query command. Did you get an error when trying to install, or when trying to run a query?

Hi @bhilbert4 Just wanted to comment on this since I also just did a fresh install and yes the newest version of astroquery does install 0.4.11. However, when you try to use jwst_mast_query in like a notebook you get an error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/envs/spaceklip_may26/bin/jwst_download.py", line 3, in <module>
    from jwst_mast_query.scripts.jwst_download import main
  File "/envs/spaceklip_may26/lib/python3.11/site-packages/jwst_mast_query/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from jwst_mast_query import jwst_query
  File "/envs/spaceklip_may26/lib/python3.11/site-packages/jwst_mast_query/jwst_query.py", line 37, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError("astroquery version=%s, at least 0.4.2 required!" % astroquery.__version__)
RuntimeError: astroquery version=0.4.11, at least 0.4.2 required!

Sorry - Just realized this is only a problem with the pip install since the change needed seems to be on main
