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

[mahendra singh meena]

Thanks a lot Florian,

    As you suggested I bypassed above issue by replacing "mocker"
library with "mock". Its really good to see the development server
running on my system. One more thing, I know basic Python and few
basics of Django but willing to take part in the upcoming mailman
PyCon sprint ( http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/PyCon+Sprint+2013 ),
so that I can get involved and gather more knowledge from you guys
about Mailman development. So can I really take part in the sprint
remotely ?

Regards
