[GRASS-dev] dateutil dependency killing GRASS 7

[Michael Barton]

One more thing, when GRASS starts up now, there is the following message from the TGIS modules...

Default TGIS driver / database set to:
driver: sqlite
database: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/PERMANENT/tgis.db

Where is this coming from? It seems pretty innocuous, though I'm not sure that this is needed as a message at startup. Is this coming from some kind of initialization module for TGIS that could be trying to do something with dateutil?
