ImportError: No module named dateutil.parser
I am receiving the following error when importing pandas in a Python program
monas-mbp:book mona$ sudo pip install python-dateutil
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): python-dateutil in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python
Cleaning up...
monas-mbp:book mona$ python t1.py

Answer
On Ubuntu you may need to install the package manager pip first:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Then install the python-dateutil package with:
sudo pip install python-dateutil
