10:38 < lool> pitti: Re: python-dateutil MIR; there's an embedded storm copy in
              elisa which is the code which relies on python-dateutil
10:38 < lool> I don't know how easy it would be for storm to move to python-tz;
              I'll try to ask them, but it's unlikely that it happens in time
              for intrepid

#storm:
10:41 < lool> Hey folks
10:41 < lool> The elisa packages embed a copy of storm because storm in
              intrepid is a bit too old (in particular, they need twisted
              integration)
10:42 < lool> I noticed that storm requires python-dateutil in this embedded
              copy, but this is in universe
10:42 < lool> So I asked for its promotion to Ubuntu main; bug #271680; the
              problem is that we killed copies of the tz information in all
              packages in main, and python-dateutil would add a copy to main
              again

10:43 < lool> So pitti asked whether it would be possible to use python-tz
              instead of something which doesn't embed tz info
