Merge pull request #4248 from cpcloud/mpl-1.1.1-build

BLD: use mpl 1.1.1 in python 2.7 production travis build

This happened after doing:

python setup.py clean
python setup.py install

Here's the error:

FYI, 0.12.0.dev-6a0b9ec did not have this problem. (my last used version).

[cpcloud]

the commit of mine you've listed above touched nothing in the Python codebase. it changed only a travis build version of matplotlib which a typical user of pandas will never see (the travis stuff that is).

your last commit listed above on the other hand is 196 commits behind master. so maybe it was my fault, but if it was it certainly wasn't from the commit you've listed.

try using git diff or better yet git bisect to see what has changed before raising an issue about it

[cpcloud]

i was in fact the author of those failing lines
however six should be installed with python-dateutil,

it looks like pandas doesn't use six anywhere so i'll remove it

[cpcloud]

does EPD not ship with dateutil? or a version that doesn't depend on six?

[cpcloud]

oh i c...it ships with 1.5 which doesn't depend on six

your last commit listed above on the other hand is 196 commits behind master. so maybe it was my fault, but if it was it certainly wasn't from the commit you've listed.

I copied the top most git log to proof that my given git hash is indeed the one where I have identified a problem. I didn't mean to imply that that commit has created the problem.

I disagree with the notion that a user should have to do more than providing 2 hash-tags in between which a problem occurs. But I honor that this is a developer's decision and I shall therefore refrain from using the developer's HEAD in the future.

[cpcloud]

2 hashes are fine but maybe avoid merge commits as those are uninformative. I was merely suggesting that you consider the changes before raising an issue. Seems like you know some git and the error will be fixed faster with more information.
