[Mailman-Users] Newbie install problems (bug?)

[marco at metm.org]

hello all,

I have been trying to get mailman to work for a couple of days.  First I
tried the Debian testing package (version 2.1.3) which depends on Python 2.3

I got most things to work, setting up the aliases in Postfix etc. and I
can sign up for an email list by going to the subscribe page on my
webserver, I get the confirmation email.  If I reply to the email, I can
sign up, but if I try to confirm by using the web page linked in the
confirmation email, I hit a python bug (see below).  I get the same bug
if I try to use the online administrative interface.

I have tried compiling version 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 from source and I get the
same error.  I have tried with python2.2 and python2.3.  Perhaps I have
a configuration problem, python path not set up properly?

Any help is appreciated,
