[Mailman-Developers] building/running alpha 8 on MacOS

[Felipe Gasper]

Is this possible?

I’m trying:

python bootstrap.py -d

…and that works. (It seems to need the -d; otherwise it won’t find the 
setuptools that MacPorts installs.)

But when I do bin/buildout, I get this mess:

Does buildout not work on MacOS?
