So either point 'python' to 'python2', or change all scripts to point to the right python executable.
Well I hoped ./configure --with-mail-gid=65534 --with-python=/usr/bin/python2 would do it.
It should, probably, but it doesn't work for the scripts in bin/... Not sure why that is. Barry ?
But this must be a debian issue ;) Partly, yes.
The explanation is here; python2.0 does not have the right license for Debian. Consequence: mailman is currently not compatible with debian.
That's not the reason for the python<->python2 difference, or at least shouldn't be. If the licence isn't right, python2 shouldn't be distributed at all ;) The name change is to avoid breakage in running scripts, because of a few subtle changes in python 2.0.
