[GRASS-dev] dateutil dependency killing GRASS 7

[William Kyngesburye]

I just got some time to briefly look at this - dateutil IS in OS X Python, 2.6 and 2.7.  (checked OS X Lion and Snow Leopard)

So if Mac users are having problems with a missing dateutil, then maybe they have another Python installed, like from python.org or MacPorts or Homebrew.  Then it's really a problem of installing dateutil in that other distribution.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
