switch from dateparser to dateutil #51

Closed pimzand closed 2 years ago

pimzand commented 2 years ago

Jack (python3-mb) uses dateparser to parse the Last-Modified date string from album art downloads.

Current dateparser is broken and is taking forever to get fixed, even though a solution has been proposed. See https://github.com/scrapinghub/dateparser/issues/1052 This mostly affects users that install their python libraries using their Linux distro.

dateparser can be replaced with dateutil which appears to be a more popular library.

I tried to build a more recent package for gentoo, and found the dateparser library not packaged in gentoo. Then I tried to package dateparser myself and fount it a nightmare to package. dateutil is available in gentoo, so I appreciate to switch over to dateutil.
