[Mailman-Developers] Error in Archive unpack while setting up mailman client 1.0.0

[Florian Fuchs]

Hi Mahendra,

this seems to be caused by the "mocker" library being distributed as a
bzip2 archive. A while ago another developer ran into the same problem and
solved it by installing bzip2 separately and then switching to python 2.6
(IIRC). Obviously being stuck with py2.6 is a less then ideal solution, but
if you can wait a little: I am currently doing some work on mailman.client
to prepare for the Pycon development sprints starting on monday. Part of
that work is replacing the "mocker" library with another one called "mock",
which is distributed as a less exotic gzipped tarball. This is no solution
for your general problem installing bzipped python packages, but at least
it will most probably solve this particular issue...

I'll post a message here when I'm done...

Cheers
Florian
