[GRASS-dev] dateutil dependency killing GRASS 7

[Sören Gebbert]

Hi Michael,
sorry to introduce something painful as a python-dateutil dependency.
My fault. I should have discussed this on the list indeed.

I have completely removed the dateutil dependency from the temporal
GIS in r53435. For now
only two types of calendar time stings are supported for parsing.

ISO dates and ISO dates with time:

2001-01-01
2001-01-01 12:30:00

Time zones are not supported.

You can extend the datetime string parser that is in use instead of
the dateutil parser in:
lib/python/temporal/datetime_math.py in function string_to_datetime()
for your needs.

Best regards
Soeren
