Category: command line scripts Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Axel Beckert (xtaran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: show_qfiles: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string' Initial Comment: With mailman 2.1.5 and Python 2.4 on SuSE Linux 9.3, show_qfiles throws an error: python show_qfiles-2.1.7.orig ~/xchange/test.pck ====================> /home/abe/xchange/test.pck Traceback (most recent call last): File "show_qfiles-2.1.7.orig", line 74, in ? main() File "show_qfiles-2.1.7.orig", line 67, in main sys.stdout.write(msg.as_string()) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string' Removing the ".as_string()" from the source of show_qfiles fixes the problem. show_qfiles is still the same in 2.1.7 and still throws this error. Tested with 2.1.7 and Python 2.4.1 under SuSE Linux 10.0.
