Hi, I downloaded the latest Mailman branch from Launchpad (using bzr branch lp:mailman) and tried installing it but ran into some trouble. The commands I was told to use for the installation were: "python bootstrap.py" followed by "bin/buildout" and "bin/test" (I assume the bin-folder will be created after the bootstrap file is run since I don't have it right now). However, running the first command I encounter the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bootstrap.py", line 69, in <module> ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('setuptools')).location AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'location'
The file belong to my user which was also used for the python command (meaning I did not use sudo to run it, although doing so gives me the same error). Any tips how I should proceed to install Mailman 3.0 and should the commands be run using sudo? I should probably add a user "mailman" instead of using my own, but right now I'm more interested in getting the whole thing to run. I currently run Kubuntu 10.04 and Python v. 2.6.5 if that might have something to do with the error message.
Thanks, Anna

Hi I tried installing Mailman 3.0a5 , over Fedora 12 , I did the following steps :
1.) python2.6 bootstrap.py
It worked successfully2.) sudo bin/buildout
It gets stuck when trying to get the distribution for munepy, I also tried to download it manually but seems that the links are missing from [1]<http://packages.python.org/munepy/>.
Thanks
Regards Jaideep

Yes, 3.0a5 will not work because the munepy package was renamed. The current bzr trunk has that fix so you should grab that instead. Of course, you'll still hit the zc.buildout problem for now.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 with the stock Python 2.6.5, so all that should work, and you should not need to be root to build and run Mailman in your own working directories.
I /think/ what's happening is that zc.buildout 1.5.0b2 was recently pushed to the Cheeseshop and that has some bugs that broke our build. I definitely tried this a few days ago and it worked just fine. I've seen some recently messages about a new, broken version of zc.buildout, and I'll check with some folks in the know a little later today.
