[gfyoung]

So if I'm reading this right, there are four warning types going on here:

1. .ix deprecations (easy patch, wrap or rewrite)

2. Escape sequence deprecations (easy patch, escape the \, as in DOC, BUG: Fix Python 3.6 invalid escape sequence. numpy/numpy#9552)

3. slepian deprecation (easy patch, replace with dpss)

4. _timelex deprecation (internal Cython code, needs discussion)

pandas/pandas/_libs/tslibs/parsing.pyx

Lines 532 to 545 in bc37ea2

	try:
	# Since these are private methods from dateutil, it is safely imported
	# here so in case this interface changes, pandas will just fallback
	# to not using the functionality
	from dateutil.parser import _timelex
	if hasattr(_timelex, 'split'):
	def _lexer_split_from_str(dt_str):
	# The StringIO(str(_)) is for dateutil 2.2 compatibility
	return _timelex.split(StringIO(str(dt_str)))
	_DATEUTIL_LEXER_SPLIT = _lexer_split_from_str
	except (ImportError, AttributeError):
	pass

@jreback : Given that we are supporting dateutil >= 2.5.0, any reason why we can't just remove this?

[jreback]

the _timelex is only in newer versions of dateutil, a bit more tricky.

[gfyoung]

the _timelex is only in newer versions of dateutil, a bit more tricky.

Tricky in what way? From the warning, it looks like it's going to be removed.

[jreback]

tricky in that we have to replicate this functionaility

[gfyoung]

Ah, right, that's fair. In that case, I suppose we should table that as a non-blocker for this issue?
