Description

r-d-m doc says:

dateutil may be installed via pip:  `pip install python.dateutil`

but with a older version of pip, the above command fails:

(v)sekikn@ubuntu-trusty:~/yetus$ pip -V
pip 1.5.4 from /home/sekikn/.virtualenvs/v/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

It succeeds with a more recent version, but displays a warning:
