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?
