How to import dateutils ??

Answer 1

The root cause might be that python and pip do not match.

You can check their versions.

pip -V
python -V
pip2 -V

As you can see, python and pip do not match. pip is for python3 and python is for python2.

Hence, the solution should be

pip2 install python-dateutil
