Overly Restrictive Requirements

[GadgetSteve]

Currently moviePy has a requirements of:

• decorator==4.0.11 but the current version is 4.3.0
• imageio==2.1.2 but the current version is 2.3.0
• tqdm==4.11.2 but the current version is 4.23.0
• numpy
  this seems overly restrictive apart from numpy - it is generally considered best practice to state minimum package versions, (lowest tested), and only add maximums or exclusions where there are known problems.

I’m no expert, but from setup.py:

requires = [
    'decorator>=4.0.2,<5.0',
    'imageio>=2.1.2,<3.0',
    'tqdm>=4.11.2,<5.0',
    'numpy',
    ]

That looks like we’re not specifying exact versions, so I’m not sure we need to change anything. Please correct me if I’m wrong though.

@tburrows13 - the problem is that I, like probably most people, am using a simple pip install -U moviepy and getting the version from PyPi - the code you quote above does address this issue but there has not been an update of the version number or a publish to PyPi since that change.

I will close this and eagerly await the next release to PyPi.

Ok, pushing a new release is high priority for me right now, you can see progress at #742
