[Mailman-Developers] semantic error in mailmanctl line 255 (Mailman 2.1.2)

14 May 2003


      Hello,
this was originally: Mandrake 9.1 / ImportError
As a result of a suggestion from
Luca Olivetti (Mandrake list member)
I think now that you are maybe wrong with that line
255 in maimanctl.
The original line is
...
os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')
But this is a semantic error we think.
The first parameter is arg0 no arg1, so you should be
using something like
os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, '' , exe, rswitch, '-s')
Here is the diff for a patch:
255c255
<     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, '' , exe, rswitch, '-s')
...
os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')
This bug breaks several python installations.
It don't work for my Mandrake system for example.
It is possible to correct this in future releases?
What do you think?
