[Mailman-Users] show_qfiles error

[Axel Beckert - ecos gmbh]

Hi!

I know, this reply comes about one year too late ;-) but nevertheless,
here's the solution (and a bug report):

Edit show_qfiles, remove the ".as_string()" after "msg" just leaving
the line

  sys.stdout.write(msg)

Patch:

This bug is still in Mailman 2.1.7. I initially had this problem with
Mailman 2.1.5 on SuSE Linux 9.3 with Python 2.4, but also could
reproduce it with 2.1.7 on SuSE Linux 10.0 with Python 2.4.1.

Filed a bug report:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1444447&group_id=103&atid=100103

Anyone can explain, why a string should be converted to a string?

            Kind regards, Axel Beckert
