Re: [Matplotlib-users] Pylab import error due to dateutil

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

This is related to using develop mode. I never use that (I use 
virtualenvs instead), so this doesn't get much testing.  This seems to 
have broken when we started to ship separate versions of dateutil for 
python2 and python3.  setuptools doesn't seem to like the fact that we 
rename dateutil_py2 to dateutil when installing (since in develop mode 
it doesn't really install or move anything).  That's problematic, of 
course.  I'll have to see if there's another way to handle this.
