Can you link to your travis.yml file? Presumably it's being called with a --pre flag.
Comment From: jreback
this is fixed in 0.19.0 (releasing shortly) in any event: https://github.com/pydata/pandas/commit/461e0e9fba67b1f5cbe6ac5bd1db0272042777ee
Comment From: michaelaye
here's my travis.yml, don't think there's a --pre in there. Which means the RC should not have been picked up, right?

Apparently using setup_requires in a setup.py uses easy_install instead of pip - you probably instead want to use install_requires.

oh, wow. thanks a bunch! distribution never gets boring..
Comment From: jorisvandenbossche
That's a gotcha! OK, closing then.
