Hi,
Does anybody know of any issues with the pipermail module? It hasn't worked for me since I upped my python version to 1.5 (on Linux 2.x). I'm still learning the language and am not yet competent enough to debug it fully myself!
Here's a traceback...
Traceback (innermost last): File "./archive", line 31, in ? list.UpdateArchive() File "/home/mailman/mailman/modules/mm_archive.py", line 72, in UpdateArchive import pipermail File "/home/mailman/mailman/modules/pipermail.py", line 424, in ? words = string.split(datestr) TypeError: argument 1: expected read-only buffer, None found
Cheers, Stu.

I'm Pipermail's developer, and yes, there have been several
issues with it. The version included with Mailman is 0.02, which is really out of date; I rewrote it almost completely for 0.04. I'm now going to try to make a new distribution of 0.05 available in the next day or two.

That looks like datestr is None, where it's being expected to
be a string; this probably means that there's a message with no 'Date:' line in its headers, or, alternatively, there's an unescaped 'From' at the beginning of a line, and the program is thinking that it marks the start of a new message.

And i've continued to work on mailman, among other things disengaging the internal, old version of pipermail and tailoring it to work with an external archiver (specifically) like andrew's new version of pipermail. If you can wait, i'm going to make a new release available over the weekend, in conjunction with andrew's release of the new pipermail. (I may make a preview available on friday, in order to give some time for people to identify any major showstoppers in my release, since i'll be away for most of the subsequent week...)
