[Mailman-Developers] Python and Mailman problem

[Kory Wheatley]

Critical trying to run Python 2.1 on my production mailman 2.0.11
Univeristy Mailing Lists. I had to revert back to Python1.5.2
Does Python 2.1 work with  Mailman 2.0.11.
Details & and error messages below. Does anyone know the solution of
this problem below?

I've install mailman 2.0.11 on Red Hat 7.2 and it was working fine until

I upgrade to Python 2.1. Once I upgraded to this version everything
seemed fine for 5 hours. I was able to receive messages from my mailing
lists at our University. The Web Interface administrator options for the

lists all worked fine. Then messages started piling in "qfiles" and it
would not send anymore messages out. I moved them out of the queue and
started moving them back in one at a time and then again the messages
seemed to be sent properly, but then they started piling back up in the
qfiles directory again .   Here is the errors I received in the "error"
logfile. I'm not totally efficient on Python yet, so I would like some
help I would appreciate it. (Quite a few messages on CORRUPTED ARCHIVES
and module regex not found)
