Bewildered newbie seeks aid.

For sinister reasons known only to myself, I want to subclass Mailman.Archiver.Archiver to extend the ArchiveMail method to do some extra work on each invocation.

I created Mailman.Archiver.MyArchiver, subclassed Archiver, and made my changes. It compiles fine. I then changed MailList.py, replacing all references to Mailman.Archiver.Archiver to MyArchiver. It compiles fine.

However, when install my changes and restart with mailmanctl, I get the following error: [root]# /home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 538, in ? main() File "/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 357, in main check_for_site_list() File "/home/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 275, in check_for_site_list sitelist = MailList(sitelistname, lock=0) TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I suspect this has something to do with some pickled MailList object that's different than my altered MailList. But what do I know? I learned Python last week. :)

Is there a way to get this to work, or am I going about it all wrong?
