When I try to install mailman-3.0.0a6, I receive the following error message:

[root@host mailman-3.0.0a6]# python2.6 bootstrap.py Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg [root@host mailman-3.0.0a6]# ./bin/buildout Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/buildout", line 17, in <module> import zc.buildout.buildout ImportError: No module named zc.buildout.buildout

Where do I obtain the module zc.buildout.buildout?

You shouldn't need to get it from anywhere, iiuc. There should be a zc.buildout in your eggs directory. It looks like bootstrap did not run completely for you. Here's what I get on a fresh 3.0 tree of bzr tip:

What OS are you on and where did your python2.6 come from?
