s3/client.py should not depend on epsilon library

[Daira Hopwood]

s3/client.py has an import "from epsilon.extime import Time". It uses this only as "Time.fromISO8601TimeAndDate(date_text).asDatetime()", which returns a datetime.datetime object from the Python standard library (http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html).

It doesn't make sense to pull in a fairly large external library (whose debian package depends also on python-nevow and python-openssl!), for such a small piece of functionality.

[Daira Hopwood (daira)]

... and especially not when that library is unmaintained, after the demise of Divmod.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

This functionality is better handled by dateutil, which is well maintained and included in Ubuntu main. See attached merge proposal for a simple fix.

This bug was fixed in the package txaws - 0.2-0ubuntu8
