I've just merged in my 'setuptools' branch to the official Mailman 3 branch.
Also gone are the C wrapper programs, so Mailman is now a pure Python application.
I suppose that means that all architecture-dependent code is gone?
All the packages Mailman depends on live in the Cheeseshop (...). And now that we're a setuptools-based project, when you build Mailman (see below), these dependent packages will be automatically downloaded and installed as necessary.
With the hat of distribution packager hat on, we will need a way to disable that mechanism. To be sure that our automated builds are self-contained and will _not_ access the network in any way. Is there any way to do that? I didn't find an option for that in "python2.5 setup.py --help".
