On fedora 17:

pip install --up --user pandas ... Installing collected packages: python-dateutil, pytz, six Found existing installation: python-dateutil 1.5 Uninstalling python-dateutil: Exception: ...

So pip wants to remove the system python-dateutil 1.5.

What's the solution here? Can pandas 0.9 just use the installed dateutil 1.5?

IIRC, dateutil >= 2.0 is for Python3, while Python 2.x requires dateutil 1.5.

Cheers, Andreas.

dateutil 2.1 supports >= 2.6 and 3.x using six. Here are the arguments being passed to pip:

setuptools_kwargs = { 'install_requires': ['python-dateutil', 'pytz', 'numpy >= 1.6'], 'zip_safe' : False, }

Maybe passing --no-deps to pip is the way to go. Packaging misery

So to confirm, pandas will work OK with dateutil 1.5?

Yes
