Sidenote:
PyPI does have several packages with "dateutil" in their name. From the
version number (2.8.2) I guess that "python-dateutil" is the one
packaged in Debian 12.

This can be installed via pip:

% lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release:	12
Codename:	bookworm

(dateutil) % pip install python-dateutil
