Sadly, dateutil is not actually part of the standard lib.

Thus, using the XEP-0082 and XEP-0202 introduces a dependency
on the dateutil package (installable using pip install python-dateutil).

Maybe we'll be able to rework how these plugins work to avoid
needing dateutil, but for now this will have to do.
