It probably wasn't but I can build the latest version of Zope which is 
also a Python app without requiring any source code changes at all, and 
Zope is a pretty complex app.

I don't doubt it. Maybe I'm the only OS/2 user who has recognised the 
quality of Mailman and would also like to use it without having to change 
platforms ;-)... I've been running Majordomo for several years but am 
desperate to move to something more feature rich.
 
If anyone can suggest what I can do about the Assertion error I will try 
to patch my code. It would a shame to pack up at this point since I do 
have so much of the package working already.
