That's not the correct workaround. If you want to work around it, you
should change

    elif msg.get_type() == 'multipart/mixed':
to
    elif msg.get_content_type() == 'multipart/mixed':

but you'd need to make those changes in several places.

The real issue is that there should be a pythonlib/ directory in your
$prefix directory, and that in turn should have an email/ directory
which is the email 2.5.8 package. This should all have been installed
by 'configure','make install' process.

So, what do you have? What went wrong that you are using the email
package from your Python installation instead of Mailman's?
