Dateparser throws module not found error becasue of regex module

[aorfanos1]

The dateparser module is currently not building (python 3.6.1) (dateparser 0.7.1), because of the latest regex module update (2019.02.19) - our fix for this was to hardcode the regex version to a recent, but not broken point in time (2019.02.07). Just making you aware and hoping that we get a real fix for this soon. Thanks

This looks to be caused by the setup.py not having fixed requirement versions whereas the requirements.txt file does. As a result because the regex module just released a broken package its broken the dateparser module installed via the setup.py.

I can see that the problem has already been fixed in regex repo (https://bitbucket.org/mrabarnett/mrab-regex/issues/314/import-error-no-module-named), with 2019.02.20 version released.
Thanks for the pointers @NickScottKortical, as you said, we'll need to pin the package versions in setup too.

Hi, @asadurski Can this be closed?

We might want to merge #600 first. Although it’s extremely unlikely it will save anyone at this point, so we might as well close both this and #600 (without merging).

Agree with @Gallaecio . It's better to explicity avoid that version.
