[Bug 1302963] Re: Calendar() class can not be initialized

[Greg Lutostanski]

Hi bear,

Good point, looks like disabling PyICU is not a good workaround then.

If we can get it to work with the python-pyicu version (1.5)  currently
in trusty I think that would be best for now. I know its quite a bit
outdated, I will look into getting that updated to a more recent version
as well.

If getting it to work with 1.5 turns out to be a debacle, comment here
and we'll look for a better solution.

I am willing to test the changes on my end if need be.

BTW, this is such a useful package, I love it :). Thanks!
