python-dateutil update

Hi all,

python-dateutil is old[0].  Fedora is carrying version 1.5, and upstream
is up to 2.3 .  If you're receiving this mail directly, you are a
maintainer of  a package that depends on python-dateutil, and we need
your help.

There are some changes that might cause breakage for you if the package
was updated.  Luckily, there is a python-dateutil15 package that could
continue to provide the same code. The maintainer of python-dateutil15
has agreed to carry the one patch that makes it different from
python-dateutil.

After this update to python-dateutil15, maintainers of dependent
packages[1] can simply submit an update with the new requires for
business as usual.  python-dateutil can then be updated to the current
version, and packages needing *that* can move forward.

I intend to file a bug against python-dateutil15 for the patch, a
tracking bug that's blocked by tickets filed against individual affected
packages and dependent on the python-dateutil15 change, and the tracking
bug will block the cited python-dateutil ticket.  It should be
relatively easy to see when each step is complete, and a relatively
painless change for the maintainers involved.  Please reply here with
any concerns about this process that might not have occurred to me.
