[Mailman-Users] ImportError: No module named Mailman

[Dan Mick]

Hmm.  It looks as though the 

from Mailman import <module>

won't work as expected (i.e. "use the module search path to look for
a path named Mailman and look for <module> in there") unless
Mailman contains __init__.py.  Does it?  (It can be empty, but it
must exist).

(The "import" documentation is shady at best.)
