Using waf, how to check for a minimum version of a python module during configure?

Question

In addition to check for presence of a particular python module during ./waf configure, I need to also check for it to be of minimum version number.

This is what I'm already doing in my wscript:

def configure(cfg):
    cfg.load('python')
    cfg.check_python_module('some_module')

How can I achieve this?

Have a look at this https://waf.io/apidocs/tools/python.html#waflib.Tools.python.check_python_module

def options(opt):
    opt.load('python')

def configure(conf):
    conf.load('python')
    conf.check_python_module(
        're',
        condition="ver > num(2, 0, 4) and ver <= num(3, 0, 0)")
