[Mailman-Users] Mm 2.1.1 dies after system upgrade: no mod getopt

[Christopher Kolar]

Hello.  I have been happily running 2.1.1 and recently had to upgrade my OS 
(to Mandrake 9.1 using python 2.2.2).    In addition to the expected 
problems, Mailman stopped working.  I went through the configure/install 
process without many problems.  When I try to start the mailman service I 
get 10 pages of the following:
...
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 72, in ?
     import getopt

   File "/home/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 72, in ?
     import getopt
ImportError: No module named getopt
   File "/home/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 72, in ?
     import getopt
ImportError: No module named getopt

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 72, in ?
     import getopt
ImportError: No module named getopt

I have seen some other posts to the list mentioning problems with python 
installations.  I would appreciate it is anyone could shed light on this 
problem.

Thanks,
