[Mailman-Users] nightly_gzip does nothing, any tips for debugging python?

[Dan Mick]

Python must be built so that 'import gzip' works.  That's an option.
It may not be enabled on your Python build.  Try it:

python -i
import gzip

if you get no error, it should be working.  If not, you need to rebuild
Python.
