[Mailman-Developers] Help with mailman 3, attempting to build branch

Thanks for the quick response. I'll use Python 2.6.3 until it changes.

Submitted, as #667252

I think the options for me will be "Build a .deb" or "Install Python &
Mailman in their own environment."  I asked because our current Mailman
installation is on its own partition, replicated with DRBD, and I was
concerned about being able to continue doing that.

Thanks,
Simon.
