Bug Description

This ticket was originally titled "unicode/str errors in dateutil" but has been renamed to better match the fix.

I'm getting tons of errors when I run the test suite with trial in Python 2.7:

FAILED (skips=3, failures=24, errors=18, successes=381)

More of them seem to be generated due to this error:

  initial_value must be unicode or None, not str

Here's a sample traceback:

I notice that your dateutil version is 2.0: on its website, it's marked as python >= 3.0, not for python 2.7. Can you try again with dateutil 1.5? Thanks.

Yikes.

Yeah, I just used "pip install ." in the txaws directory, and it installs python-dateutil-2.0.tar.gz... so, that looks like a bug :-)

I'll update the setup.py requirements to use a version less than 2.0...

No matter what I set the version requirements to in setup.py, pip and easy_install still download 2.0.

I checked on PyPI, and it seems that python-dateutil only has 2.0 available, not 1.5.

I'm guessing that Gustavo needs to allow for previous versions to be downloaded (this is done from the admin page in one's PyPI account). Once it's possible to download 1.5 again, I'll give this another try...

@Gustavo: Thanks! Works like a charm, now.

@Kapil: Yeah, I dunno why my easy_install wasn't working, but pip for sure was having problems. It was only looking at the PyPI site, not at labix. Anyway, with Gustavo opening up the previous versions on PyPI, pip's installing the right one with the setuptools requirement updated with a version spec.

summary: - unicode/str errors in dateutil
+ dateutil requirement needs version spec
