[Mailman-Users] mailman/python and cron

[Scott R. Every]

ok.  i found the answer and thought i'd post it in case anyone else runs 
into this.  the environment variables under the cron user(root on this 
system) did not included /usr/local/bin which is where python was installed.
doing a:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python

fixed it.  i expect change the paths for root would similarily work.
