Category: configuring/installing Group: 2.1 beta

Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Larry A. Price (swirly) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: bin/update fails on bogus import

Initial Comment: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 47, in ? from Mailman import MailList File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 40, in ? from email.Utils import getaddresses, formataddr, parseaddr ImportError: cannot import name formataddr make: *** [update] Error 1

there is no function formataddr in /usr/lib/python2.2/email/Utils.py

formataddr is called only within the code to generate the admin_notif for new subscriptions.

My solution was

40c40 < from email.Utils import getaddresses, formataddr, parseaddr

from email.Utils import getaddresses, parseaddr 865c865 < "member" : formataddr((name, email)),

             "member"   : "%s <%s>" % (name, email),

The next Mailman beta will fix this by installing it's own copy of the email package instead of trying to use the (incomplete) one from Python 2..2
