should dateutil module be a hard requirement?

[nbareil]

In pymisp/misp_event.py:

 11 try:
 12     from dateutil.parser import parse
 13 except ImportError:
 14     pass

But it is used like it must exists.

345     def set_date(self, date, ignore_invalid=False):
346         if isinstance(date, basestring) or isinstance(date, unicode):
347             self.date = parse(date).date()
348         elif isinstance(date, datetime.datetime):
349             self.date = date.date()
350         elif isinstance(date, datetime.date):
351             self.date = date

I can fix that, but what would you prefer?

• Modify set_date() behavior with a has_dateutil
• Make a successful import mandatory?

Hmmm yeah, that would make sense. I'm not sure why I did it that way at the time...

It is already mandatory: https://github.com/MISP/PyMISP/blob/master/setup.py#L30

The reason you have the try - except - pass is because import pymisp is in setup.py before you actually install the dependencies so pip install . will fail.
