__version__ naming conflict

[JherezTaylor]

The version check in requests_oauthlib/__init__.py throws the following error under Python 3.5.3:
unorderable types: module() < str()

When I print the value of requests.__version__ it prints the path of the module requests.__version__ rather than the current package value 2.17.3

Ugh, this seems like a breaking change in Requests 2.17.3. Let's see if we can clean that up.

[JherezTaylor]

Yea, I noticed it through a Twython import.

[Lukasa]

Hrm, hang on, what platform are you running on? I can't reproduce this problem with Requests directly in a shell.

[JherezTaylor]

Ubuntu: 17.04
Python: 3.5.3
Jupyter Notebook: 4.4.0

Is there any other debug info I can provide?

[Lukasa]

Hrm, that's very odd. For this to be the case there would need to be some indeterminacy in the way things end up in the namespace. The way the Requests imports are written this should not be happening. Are you 100% confident that version 2.17.3 of Requests is what's running in your Jupyter kernel?

I should note that I can't seem to replicate the issue by creating a notebook that only includes the requests and requests_oauthlib import. I suspect that there might be some other funny business going on that doesn't involve requests_ouathlib. I'll just monkey patch it locally and go about my business.

[Lukasa]

Yeah, this seems to be a weirdness in your system somewhere. Sorry we can't be of more help!
