Please help me solve this.

Here is a point of reference with my current

frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ pip list | grep python
python-apt (1.1.0b1+ubuntu0.16.4.1)
python-crontab (2.2.8)
python-dateutil (2.7.0)

frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ less apps/frappe/requirements.txt
frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ less apps/frappe/requirements.txt | grep dateutil
python-dateutil
frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ bench version
erpnext 10.1.13
frappe 10.1.6

Maybe uninstall python-dateutil or override?

or just rm apps/frappe?

IDK what difference it makes, but running bench get-app erpnext https://github.com/frappe/erpnext without the branch argument let me successfully install. Logically speaking it should be downloading from the master branch by default, but I succeeded with just letting it go unmentioned.

This now impacts the default master install regardless of if you specify flags or not.

I discovered that this is caused by the botocore package, which is used for the S3 backup integration. They changed their requirements to stipulate python-dateutil>=2.1,<2.7.0.

Locally, I solved this by entering the bench virtualenv and uninstalling the module and manually installing one within the requirements (for me that was 2.6.1)

$ cd /path/to/your/bench
$ . env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip uninstall python-dateutil
  Uninstalling python-dateutil-2.7.2:

Proceed (y/n)? y
  Successfully uninstalled python-dateutil-2.7.2
(env) $ pip install python-dateutil==

  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-dateutil== (from versions: 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.1.post1, 2.4.2, 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, 2.7.0, 2.7.1, 2.7.2)

(env) $ pip install python-dateutil==2.6.1

Perhaps the dev team could have a look at this and see about an ideal solution? To me it seems the most straight-foreward would be to have a cleaner way to choose when and how to setup integrations, rather than bundling them all in the default package. This could resolve a lot of issues and make people pleased with less of a footprint.

@codingCoffee, please take a look at it.

As @tenninjas correctly mentioned it does seem like a botocore issue. It is still open and people have sent PRs to fix it. Relax upper bound on python-dateutil · Issue #1429 · boto/botocore · GitHub
Let’s waiit for a while and see if it gets resolved.
