Problem with mailman-2.1a1, syntax error in bin/update : print >> sys.stderr ...
Hi.
This is the error I get when I try to do a ./configure of mailman-2.1a1:
Compiling /home/mailm21/Mailman/versions.py ... File "bin/update", line 81 print >> sys.stderr, 'Fixing language templates:', mlist.internal_name() ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "bin/check_perms", line 96 arg.ERRORS += 1 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I tried with python 2.0 and python 2.1b1 and same result.
Here is how I made python 2.0:
./configure make make test make altinstall
I installed mimelib 0.2 downloaded over the weekend:
python2.0 setup.py install
And verified the install as per the doc
I tried to install mailman-2.1a1 (downloaded today) with:
./configure --prefix=/home/mailm21 --with-username=mailm21 --with-groupname=mailm21 --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.0 --with-mail-gid=daemon
I tried with and without PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.0
I'm on Linux.

PT> Here is how I made python 2.0:

Hi.
I made a hard link to python2.0 and named it /usr/local/bin/python and it worked. Thanks.
I was under the impression that I could use option --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.0 with configure where /usr/local/bin/python2.0 is the python interpreter.
Is this option used to point to the directory where python is or to the executable in itself ?

Hi Barry,
I'm not even sure what "make altinstall" does. ;) These error sure point to Mailman finding an earlier version of Python than 2.0.
Couldn't some of the make targets check that the version of Python available is sufficiently recent? This seems to crop up a lot as Mailman is using recent Python features.
