[Mailman-Users] Archiving doesn't work under Mac OS X 10.1

[Peter Bengtson]

Editing the sources in the indicated manner (plus adjusting the level 
of indentation of the remaining part of the function) indeed works. 
Editing i18n.py in the install directory doesn't suffice, however - it 
is necessary to edit the file in the distribution directory and then do 
a 'make install'. Anyway, thanks for the pointer!

However, should Mailman really require that strptime is defined? As it 
is now, archiving doesn't work _at_all_ in Mailman 2.x under Mac OS X 
10.1.
