I've resumed my attempts to get Pipermail working on my system with some stock data (Ken Manheimer hooked me up with some matrix-sig archives)...I was having some problems earlier with Pythong not being able to find the bsddb module (I asked Andrew about it)...turns out that Python distro I had was whack (it was 1.5.1-4, for reference; upgrading to -18 seems to have fixed it). So, after upgrading, I tried running...seemed to be doing ok...it was 500+ articles in and hit this:

Processing article #508 into archives ['1996q1.matrix-sig'] Traceback (innermost last): File "pysig.py", line 310, in ? publicF.processUnixMailbox(file, PySIGArticle) File "/home/cklempay/src/pipermail/pipermail.py", line 366, in processUnixMailbox a=articleClass(m, self.sequence) # Create an article object File "pysig.py", line 71, in __init__ hypermail.Article.__init__(self, message, sequence, keepHeaders) File "/home/cklempay/src/pipermail/hypermail.py", line 39, in __init__ pipermail.Article.__init__(self, message, sequence, keepHeaders) File "/home/cklempay/src/pipermail/pipermail.py", line 95, in __init__ date=time.mktime(date)-tzoffset TypeError: number coercion failed [galtgulch]~/src/pysig > ls

Anyone know what the story is with this? I'm too inexperienced/clueless for this to be obvious (if it is).
