That's the bundled version on precise. Perhaps just headless travis issues.

related #4213, #4215?

travis is now using 1.2.1

I guess the README never stated a minimum version on mpl.
Was there a decision not to support 1.1.1 any longer?

[cpcloud]

no. but we were installing via pip before wheels were introduced and it was installing the latest release. 1.1.1 works AFAICT. i'll add matplotlib 1.1.1 to one of the 3.x versions, would that work?

[ghost]

that'd be great. thanks. ubuntu default install carries a lot of users with it.

1.1.1 is not compat with py3 so putting it in the 2.7 non-locale (production) build

[cpcloud]

@y-p close? i just merged mpl 1.1.1 test into the build, using wheels, running on py2.7 non-locale

[ghost]

Thanks @cpcloud.

np! i think i'm finally starting to gain some intuition for versioning/ci/build issues, so really thank YOU! 😃
