I just sent a message to my freshly installed MM 3 alpha 4 (on Ubuntu 9.04) and got the following warning:

Nov 29 23:53:51 mailman postfix/lmtp[8620]: D409D32E12: to=test@mailman.state-of-mind.de, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:8025, delay=1.8, delays=0.07/0.01/0/1.7, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok) Nov 29 23:53:51 mailman postfix/qmgr[8613]: D409D32E12: removed /root/mailman/src/mailman/rules/administrivia.py:84: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal if line == '':

The delivery worked though.

Interesting. Do you have a copy of that message? Is it reproducible?

I got a unicode warning, too. Running alpha4 with python26 on OSX 10.5. I didn't have Pyrex installed, and got warnings during the build process. Don't know if that's related.

It's different from Patrick's warning.

In your case, the issue appears to be the non-ascii character (0xe2 a-circumflex) in the name of the /Users/iane/Downloads ?/ directory

...

File "/Users/iane/Downloads •/mailman-3.0.0a4/src/mailman/tests/test_bounces.py", line 193, in test_SMTP32_failure with open(os.path.join(MSGDIR, 'postfix_01.txt')) as fp: File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 70, in join path += '/' + b UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)

Presumably MSGDIR has the same "/Users/iane/Downloads •/mailman-3.0.0a4/" prefix.

Ah. Good spot. That's • alt-8 on an Apple keyboard. The character prevents my backup client backing up the directory. Wouldn't happen in a production environment. Thanks, Mark.

I think Mark correctly diagnosed the problem. Keep in mind that these
are somewhat broken tests anyway because they should be using
pkg_resource to get at those files instead of os.path.join() and
open(). I don't know if that'll solve the problem though.

I'm not exactly sure how to fix this yet, but I'll try to see if I can
reproduce it locally.

I've decided I'm not going to worry about this. :)
