Hi Abhilash,

No, I wasn't running mailman on a virtual environment. I will try setting up mailman again. It would have been great if the wiki also mentioned the steps to set-up a virtual environment. IMHO, one can easily google it still mentioning it in the wiki is better. I will be happy to add the documentation for the same.

Thank you, Akash Agrawall

Hi Barry,

I fixed the issue by setting http_proxy and https_proxy as root. export http_proxy="http://<proxy>:<port number>" export https_proxy="https://<proxy>:<port number>"

These are environment variables, you don't need to set them as root.

The command "sudo python3.4 setup.py install" ran successfully.

Are you running mailman in a virtualenv? If yes, then my guess is using "sudo" is causing your problems. Previously this1 page (wrongly) did mention the "sudo" for the above command, but it has now been fixed.
