Category: mail delivery Group: 2.0.x Status: Closed Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 7 Submitted By: Tomas Lindroos (skitta) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MailCommandHandler bug w/ python 1.5.2
Initial Comment: The file Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py contains two lines of code that makes (at least) the cron-job qrunner fail when using python 1.5.2. I have not checked wether this could effect other parts of the system.
The problem can be found on lines 123-124, where calls to the method .lower() is made. With python 1.5.2, string objects do not have this method.
The obvious fix is of course:
Mailman/ $ diff MailCommandHandler.py MailCommandHandler.py~ 123,124c123,124 < precedence = string.lower(msg.get('precedence', '')) < ack = string.lower(msg.get('x-ack', ''))
precedence = msg.get('precedence',
'').lower()
ack = msg.get('x-ack', '').lower()
The strings-library is used at all other places in the file, and a
grep lower\( find . -name "*.py" | grep -v
string.lower
finds no other problems of this type. (I don't guarantee that :)
The traceback log from the error-log:

Argh! I went straight to the "download" mirror on ftp.gnu.org, and the mirror doesn't seem to be up-to-date - the newest package there is 2.0.12.
My mistake. But not completely :)
