RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

Comment 3 Jon Jensen 2016-10-05 05:07:46 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Charalampos Stratakis 2016-10-05 08:34:39 UTC
Glad to hear it is fixed.

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