Category: mail delivery Group: 2.0.x Status: Closed Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 7 Submitted By: Tomas Lindroos (skitta) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MailCommandHandler bug w/ python 1.5.2

Initial Comment: The file Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py contains two lines of code that makes (at least) the cron-job qrunner fail when using python 1.5.2. I have not checked wether this could effect other parts of the system.

The problem can be found on lines 123-124, where calls to the method .lower() is made. With python 1.5.2, string objects do not have this method.

The obvious fix is of course:

Mailman/ $ diff MailCommandHandler.py MailCommandHandler.py~ 123,124c123,124 < precedence = string.lower(msg.get('precedence', '')) < ack = string.lower(msg.get('x-ack', ''))

    precedence = msg.get('precedence',

'').lower()

    ack = msg.get('x-ack', '').lower()

The strings-library is used at all other places in the file, and a

grep lower\( find . -name "*.py" | grep -v string.lower

finds no other problems of this type. (I don't guarantee that :)

The traceback log from the error-log:

qrunner(22189): Traceback (innermost last): qrunner(22189): File "/export/mailman-2.0.12/cron/qrunner", line 283, in ? qrunner(22189): kids = main(lock) qrunner(22189): File "/export/mailman-2.0.12/cron/qrunner", line 253, in main qrunner(22189): keepqueued = dispose_message(mlist, msg, msgdata) qrunner(22189): File "/export/mailman-2.0.12/cron/qrunner", line 157, in dispose_message qrunner(22189): mlist.ParseMailCommands(msg) qrunner(22189): File "/export/mailman-2.0.12/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 123, in ParseMailCommands qrunner(22189): precedence = msg.get('precedence', '').lower() qrunner(22189): AttributeError : 'string' object has no attribute 'lower'

Argh! I went straight to the "download" mirror on ftp.gnu.org, and the mirror doesn't seem to be up-to-date - the newest package there is 2.0.12.

My mistake. But not completely :)
