Django Dependency for django-pyodbc-azure 2.1.0.0

[Pineleaf]

Just noticed that when trying to install version 2.1.0.0
conda install -c conda-forge django-pyodbc-azure
It tries to downgrade django below 2.1 because of a restriction in the meta.yaml run section on the version of django - is this a mistake?
This is a real pain when trying to use django-pyodbc-azure with Django 2.1

Really? That thread is about 2.2 if you try this package with 2.1 it tries to downgrade your django and doesnt if you use pip

Hi I am facing a same issue. When I try to install django-pyodbc-azure it tends to downgrade django to lower version 1.11.x which makes my application not workable. Is this meta.yaml constraint a mistake? I thought the first two number should match so 2.1.0.0 should support Django 2.1.x Thanks!

A few things may be happening on this issue. I don't see a meta.yaml anywhere in the repository. Looks like a problem with conda-build, not this package.

If you're being downgraded to Django 1.11, it is likely that the Django install is being done on Python 2.x instead of Python 3.x. Django 1.11 was the last version to support Python 2.x. Check and make sure your venv is using Python 3.5 or higher (preferably 3.6 or higher!).

Can people having problems include all the command that are being run? If you install via pip in a fresh venv, you should be good:

$ python3 -m venv myvenv
$ . myvenv/bin/activate
$ pip install django-pyodbc-azure
