You generally don't want to reinstall an os. You should fix it. OTOH I'm using archlinux, so it
might just be arch talking :D

Do you want to participate in development? Then _don't_ use mailman-bundler.
Mailman-bundler is for production setups and to just try it out.
Refer to the documentation of the projects on readthedocs.org on how to get dev setups running.

_Never_ ever run this using sudo !!!!
You should only use sudo to do administrative tasks on your pc. Do not run any program that throws
errors using sudo. That might actually brick your pc and in the end require a reinstallation

There is an issue over at postorius regarding this
https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/107
You will have to manually fix it.

postorius and hyperkitty are currently python2 projects. So python3 will most probably not work at all
