Hi,

Can someone have a look at the mailman and python-2.6 incompatibility reported in FS#11970 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11970). I don't have any more time to look into this before I leave and currently mailman has no maintainer. If no patch is found, mailman will work with python24 as an interim fix.

Adopted it. I'm sure this is a simple patch (convert 'sha' to 'hashlib'). I hope I can get to this tonight.

Looks like you'll need to use python24: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-October/063700.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Not likely, sha is deprecated in python26, but it still works. (Converting it to hashlib is easy though.) -- that's just a warning. The error in that bug report is that the email.message class doesn't exist... maybe they meant to import email.Message. I don't think email.message ever existed in the standard email module though -- is mailman expecting a different email module from the one in python's standard library? Dusty
