[Mailman-Users] Mailman install problems

[Elvis Fernandes]

Hi Mark,

I tried manually running:

isd80{mailman}8: /opt/local/bin/python -c 'from compileall import *;
compile_dir("/mailman/mailman/Mailman")'
  File "<string>", line 1
    from
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
isd80{mailman}9:

Still no go.
