obache ba3f00b110 Update py-dateutil to 2.3.
Version 2.3
-----------

- Cleanup directory structure, moved test.py to dateutil/tests/test.py

- Changed many aspects of dealing with the zone info file. Instead of a cache,
  all the zones are loaded to memory, but symbolic links are loaded only once,
  so not much memory is used.

- The package is now zip-safe, and universal-wheelable, thanks to changes in
  the handling of the zoneinfo file.

- Fixed tzwin silently not imported on windows python2

- New maintainer, together with new hosting: GitHub, Travis, Read-The-Docs

Version 2.2
-----------

- Updated zoneinfo to 2013h

- fuzzy_with_tokens parse addon from Christopher Corley

- Bug with LANG=C fixed by Mike Gilbert

Version 2.1
-----------

- New maintainer

- Dateutil now works on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2 from same codebase (with six)

- #704047: Ismael Carnales' patch for a new time format

- Small bug fixes, thanks for reporters!


Version 2.0
-----------

- Ported to Python 3, by Brian Jones.  If you need dateutil for Python 2.X,
  please continue using the 1.X series.

- There's no such thing as a "PSF License".  This source code is now
  made available under the Simplified BSD license.  See LICENSE for
  details.

The `dateutil` module provides powerful extensions to the standard `datetime`
module, available in Python.
Features
* Computing of relative deltas (next month, next year, next monday, last week
of month, etc);
* Computing of relative deltas between two given date and/or datetime objects;
* Computing of dates based on very flexible recurrence rules, using a superset
of the iCalendar specification. Parsing of RFC strings is supported as well.
* Generic parsing of dates in almost any string format;
* Timezone (tzinfo) implementations for tzfile(5) format files
(/etc/localtime, /usr/share/zoneinfo, etc), TZ environment string (in all
known formats), iCalendar format files, given ranges (with help from
relative deltas), local machine timezone, fixed offset timezone, UTC
timezone, and Windows registry-based time zones.
* Internal up-to-date world timezone information based on Olson's database.
* Computing of Easter Sunday dates for any given year, using Western, Orthodox
or Julian algorithms;
* More than 400 test cases.
