Dear Mailman developers,
I've just installed Mailman, following the directions in the INSTALL
file, but I have gotten stuck in "6. Getting started".
When I try to create a test list using ~mailman/bin/newlist, I get a
python error, which I've included below. There are no corresponding
entries in the syslog.
I would appreciate any help that you can give to get this working.
Thanks! -- Veda Larson
