Are you using python2 for postorius? Mailman core requires python3.4 and
mailman.client is bilingual( can run on both python2 and 3). But
postorius (for now) only runs on python2.

Also, since you need to be able to import mailman.client in postorius,
you need to install mailman.client too in a python2 environment.
