python-dateutil-1.5-distutils-r1.patch

Slot 0 has already been done, it would be nice to have slot python-2 done too.

Attached is a suggested patch based on slot 0.

Hmm... given that python2.5 is probably short on life, I'm not sure it makes sense to even keep the python-2 slot around.

I don't see anything in the tree which depends on it; is there any other reason to keep it?

I was hoping to add a package in the near future which states it requires 'python-dateutil==1.5'.

After discussion in #-python, I can probably work around the hard dependency requirement.
