[Mailman-Users] Mailman install problems

[Elvis Fernandes]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for responding.

I tried the following:

isd80{mailman}2:
isd80{mailman}2: /opt/local/bin/python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Jun  5 2003, 12:34:45)
[GCC 3.2.1] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from compileall import *
>>>
>>>
>>> ^D
isd80{mailman}3:
isd80{mailman}3:


The python complier did not report any errors.

Regards
Elvis
