I didn't have problems with that, but I needed this patch in setup.py (for
mailman) to get it to compile:

I'm not even sure this makes sense, but with that change it did compile.

I am getting that same error, and of course will investigate, but I've yet
to do so.

I am having lots of problems with the unit tests, though, and I'm
realizing it's been a long time since I really did much with Python :-)

After a bit more investigation, I realize that a number of the tests are
failing due to incomplete sets of namespace changes.  (I'll include one
example below, so someone can tell me if I'm going completely off course,
please!)  It seems silly to waste more people's time here than necessary,
so maybe this is where it benefits us to start letting more people commit
changes to CVS.  (I'm betting Maki had to take the time to make these same
changes, because it wasn't until I'd made them that I first got the "No
module named _bsddb"  error.)

Barry?
