[Mailman-Developers] semantic error in mailmanctl line 255 (Mailman 2.1.2)

[Oliver Egginger]

Hello,

this was originally: Mandrake 9.1 / ImportError


As a result of a suggestion from 
Luca Olivetti (Mandrake list member) 
I think now that you are maybe wrong with that line 
255 in maimanctl.

The original line is
>     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')

But this is a semantic error we think. 
The first parameter is arg0 no arg1, so you should be 
using something like

os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, '' , exe, rswitch, '-s')


Here is the diff for a patch:
255c255
<     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, '' , exe, rswitch, '-s')
---
>     os.execl(mm_cfg.PYTHON, 'qrunner', exe, rswitch, '-s')


This bug breaks several python installations.
It don't work for my Mandrake system for example.

It is possible to correct this in future releases?
What do you think?
