Fwd: [Mailman-Developers] [ mailman-Bugs-640775 ] Qrunner suddenly doesn't work anymore

[Richard Barrett]

Barry et al

You can ignore what I said below in my posting yesterday evening about the 
subject bug report; a complete non sequitur.

The problem I had was with UserDict.pyc (not Utils.pyc) appearing out of 
place in $prefix/Mailman/

The bug report suggests corruption of Utils.pyc in its correct place.

I had said:

I posted on the subject '[Mailman-Users] Spurious ImportError stopping the 
qrunner'   and you responded on 19 Nov

If you recollect I said that the problem was cured by removing a file 
$prefix /Mailman/Utils.pyc which had automagically appeared out of place.

Looks like someone else has found the same cure is necessary, albeit for a 
different spurious exception

Python or Mailman problem or a conspiracy ??
