So the current python-social-auth is not buildout compatible? Is it my turn to file a bug in the python-social-auth bug tracker? Greetings, Daniel

Hello! I tried to install Mailman 3 and its companions (Hyperkitty, Postorius) on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS using the mailman-bundler. I followed the docs: http://mailman-bundler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ It fails while trying to install 'python-social-aut': (venv)mailman@jiffy02:~/mailman-bundler$ buildout Getting distribution for 'python-social-auth>=0.2.3'. No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-LK6bYy/python-social-auth-0.2.9/egg-dist-tmp-FzLeGP (setup script problem?) While: Installing mailman-web. Getting distribution for 'python-social-auth>=0.2.3'. Error: Couldn't install: python-social-auth 0.2.9 Any ideas? Greetings, Daniel

"How to Ask" -- reading list for GSoC students, part I
by Stephen J. Turnbull 17 May '15

I don't mean to single out a particular student, or even students in general. We've all done this early in our careers. That said, > What can it be that I may be missing which is preventing me to > query the table. Really desperate for any hep on this :) Thanks... is a poor problem report. We shouldn't have to guess so much, or have to ask for simple things like "show us the code". Please read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html The advice about how to communicate your issue in ways that get useful answers fast in that page (and in several linked pages) is very good. Eric and Rick (the authors) show a lot of attitude (and they do in real life, too! :-), which you generally won't see on this list and definitely not on mailman-users. But there are places where you will see the "snappy answers" style of response, or "desperate" queries that go completely ignored, as they describe. (One of them is graduate school, in case you're thinking about getting an advanced degree!) It's good to get in the habit of writing well-formed problem reports early.

[GSoc Project] Error Creating a New Model for The Database

Are you doing attribute access in Python code for Django, or are you writing direct SQL queries? My first guess for either case is that you haven't done the sync operation on the database (Django doesn't do it automatically), and so the table hasn't been created. My second guess is that the names that Django chooses for the table are munged (some kind of prefixing is done to make them unique and unlikely to conflict with table names chosen by the programmer). My third guess is that you're trying to access a Django table from Mailman; that isn't going to work terribly well.

[GSoc Project] Error Creating a New Model for The Database
by Bhavesh Goyal 16 May '15

Hi ! I am trying to create a basic working prototype for one of the widgets in my project , 'Dashboard For Admins' and need some help implementing the same. I created a new 'Task' model which is supposed to show the list of pending tasks which require admin's attention. There exists two classes 'Task' , and 'TaskManager' inside the model for which I 've also created two required interfaces. I 've included a new Task class in postorius/models.py and created one inside Client too for handling rest queries... But, whenever I try to query an object from the 'task' table, I get an sql error : no such table 'task'. I ve tried doing makemigrations and migrate but it doesn't seem to recognize the newly created table. What can it be that I may be missing which is preventing me to query the table. Really desperate for any hep on this :) Thanks... -- Regards, Bhavesh Goyal, Computer Science Engineering, IIIT Hyderabad

DjangoCon ideas?
by Sumana Harihareswara 14 May '15

14 May '15

DjangoCon North America is in Austin, Texas, USA, September 6-11. They're looking for talks and the call for proposals ends tomorrow. https://2015.djangocon.us/speaking/cfp/ Is there anything we're doing with Django that would be of interest to the Django community, either to people who hack on Django or people who write and deploy Django applications? If so, I'd be open to submitting a proposal and speaking there. -- Sumana Harihareswara http://brainwane.net

Storing extra data during pipeline processing
by Juraj Variny 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hello, I am adapting the GPG patch for mailman 2.1.x for our project and want to gather some related data in Approve and Scrubber handlers and use them in the archiver. Can you please advise me how to attach some metadata to a message to use it in later stages? Also noticed Scrubber being called multiple times per message (from normal pipeline, from digester, from archiver). I want to verify GPG signatures of the attachments in scrubber and redoing it multiple time is wasteful of system resources, I want to attach some metadata after the first checking to prevent it, too. I have tried already to use msgdata parameter or adding headers to message itself, but was not successful so far. I was thinking about adding external database and putting the data there by message ID, but sure there must be a better way? I hope to publish the code some day, too. Juraj

Lack of HTTPS support. Apparently many[1] Indian organizations block outgoing connections to port 22, so ssh connections aren't feasible.
