Description Jon Jensen 2016-10-03 18:29:55 UTC
Description of problem:

The python-dateutil RPM includes /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dateutil/parser.py which requires the "six" module but the RPM does not declare this dependency, so it must be manually installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

python-dateutil-2.5.3-2.rhel7.noarch

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "from dateutil.parser import parse"

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/blogging-report.py", line 8, in <module>
    from dateutil.parser import parse
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dateutil/parser.py", line 40, in <module>
    from six import text_type, binary_type, integer_types
ImportError: No module named six


Expected results:

It should just load. (And it did, until the most recent version of python-dateutil, or more likely, one of the other recently updated python modules that perhaps used to contain six.)

`yum install python-six` fixes it.

Pshaw. My apologies -- this python-dateutil RPM didn't come from RHEL; it is from the Postgres PGDG Yum repository, and they recently fixed the problem as per this changelog entry:

* Mon Sep 26 2016 Devrim Gündüz <devrim> - 1:2.5.3-3
- Fix spec file, description part, package part, etc. Fixes #1706.

Sorry for the noise.

Glad to hear it is fixed.

As this is not an issue affecting the RHEL package I am closing the bug.
