Request for review: pytz and python-dateutil

[Orion Poplawski]

I'm attempting to shift my python-matplotlib package to use upstream 
versions of pytz and dateutil.  It bundles a version of each with it,

pytz - World Timezone Definitions for Python
Author: 	Stuart Bishop <stuart at stuartbishop.net>
Introduction

pytz brings the Olson tz database into Python. This library allows

higher. It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of 
daylight savings, which you can read more about in the Python Library 
Reference (datetime.tzinfo).
