I think a setup step might be missing from the developer's docs https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/devsetup.html
If I go through the venv setup and when I call mailman info, the following error shows up (missing dependency).
... File "/home/_/Workspace/personal/mailman/src/mailman/__init__.py", line 38, in <module> from mailman.core.i18n import initialize File "/home/_/Workspace/personal/mailman/src/mailman/core/i18n.py", line 22, in <module> from flufl.i18n import PackageStrategy, registry ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flufl.i18n'
This is a packaging issue. The short answer is if in your venv you run
pip uninstall flufl.bounce flufl.lock flufl.i18n pip install flufl.bounce flufl.lock flufl.i18n
to remove and reinstall the flufl modules, it will then work.
The longer answer is if you look in your venv's site-packages directory before you remove the flufl modules, you will see
flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/ flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9.egg/ flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9.egg/
and in easy-install.pth entries
./flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9.egg ./flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9.egg/ ./flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/
and after, in site-packages
flufl/ flufl.bounce-3.0.2.dist-info/ flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9-nspkg.pth flufl.i18n-3.1.5.dist-info/ flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9-nspkg.pth flufl.lock-5.0.5.dist-info/ flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9-nspkg.pth
and in site-packages/flufl
bounce/ i18n/ lock/
This later configuration works fo importing any of flufl.bounce, flufl.i18n and flufl.lock, but the former winds up looking in flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/ for everything and only finds flufl.bounce and not the others.
