Description:
Hi since march 2011 there is a package compatible with python3 for the python-dateutil which for python2 is in community. This package actually can be found in AUR with the name python3-dateutil. I know that the last version 2.0 is only compatible with python3 and for python2 you have to stick with v1.5. But still I think will be wise to normalize the situation. First, the following lines in the python2-dateutil package in community prevent the package for python3 have its proper name: python-dateutil which differs from the present one python3-dateutil.

replaces=('python-dateutil')
conflicts=('python-dateutil')
provides=('python-dateutil')

As there has been enough time for the people to update from July when the the name python2-dateutil was pushed I think the time has arrive to eliminate these lines.

Second as python3 is the default python version in archlinux I think would be wise to have also the python3 version of python2-dateutil in community, otherwise which is the point of making it the default if the one have to use only AUR packages to really work.

Thanks in advance for you effort

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
