[Mailman-Developers] RELEASED: GNU Mailman 3.0 beta 1 and Postorius 1.0 alpha 1

[Felipe Gasper]

No INSTALL file in the tarball?

For folks like me who aren’t savvy with Python’s installers and were 
expecting to find configure/make, it would help a great deal.


This may be the wrong list for this, but just in case I stumbled on the 
right way to install it, I got this when doing sudo python setup.py install:

-----------
Processing dependencies for mailman==3.0.0b1
error: Installed distribution zope.interface 3.5.1 conflicts with 
requirement zope.interface>=3.8.0
