Qt version check broken

[sprevrha]

Raises error for Qt 4.10.1, even though that version should be compatible.
Problem is the lexical compare in external/qt.py @ L39 and L53 as indeed '4.7' > '4.10.1'.
Proposed solution: Convert version strings and compare by int

Thanks, but we've fixed it some time ago (#2831), and the fix is already in the latest release.

True for master and 0.13 branch. Do you want to merge the fix into the 0.12
branch?

We don't have the manpower to backport everything to all version. Even if people issue PR that fixes the things, there is all the packaging behind and distribution.

Also, 0.13 has been stable for almost a year and has already had 2 bugfix releases. And we try to push people away from 0.12 because it has notebooks issues.

So I'm sorry, but IMHO that would be a no to backport to 0.12.

No worries. I'll upgrade, and thanks for the reply! Thanks for all the
great work!

To reinforce what Matthias said: we only support one series at a time. So as soon as we released 0.13, backports to 0.12 stopped.
