Investigating, it seems that Matplotlib includes python-dateutils
wholesale in its egg, instead of depending on the python-dateutils egg
and installing that, thus generating warning messages like these.
Where did you get that matplotlib egg? Particularly on linux (which you
appear to be using), distributing .eggs for matplotlib would be
problematic because of all the 3rd party libraries required, so I didn't
think they'd be officially distributed. Indeed, I don't see one for
linux on the matplotlib download page.
I create it myself using the supplied setupegg.py script.
Would be possible to
remove the dateutil module from future matplotlib eggs and simply rely on
the python-dateutils egg?
Since matplotlib doesn't require setuptools (other than for Python 2.3),
there can be no install_requires field. (And even if we had it in the
install_requires field, does your linux distribution's python-dateutil
package include the egg info required for the install_requires field to
work?)
Gotcha.
If you built the egg yourself, you can re-build it with dateutil
installed and then matplotlib's setup.py file won't include its own
dateutil. Ditto for pytz.
Thanks for the tip! Installed pytz and dateutil, and the created egg is what
I desired. Thanks!
