[Mailman-Users] Hold.py fails in hold_for_approval

[Morris Jones]

I recently discovered that all of my moderated posts have been failing, 
most likely because my mailman version was older than my python version.

This is the error:

Sep 29 20:52:12 2010 (5588) Uncaught runner exception: unbound method 
reason_notice() must be called with ModeratedMemberPost instance as 
first argument (got nothing instead)

My python version is 2.6.2, and I've been very careful to be sure that 
older pythons are not in the PATH.

The first thing I did was update mailman to 2.1.14, which seemed to go 
just fine, but I still see this error.  The timestamps of all the 
executables are current, and were overwritten by the new versions.  The 
"version' command reports 2.1.14.

Actually ...

I see now that the actual line of code changed after installing the new 
version of mailman.  Where it used to be:

     reason = Utils.wrap(exc.reason_notice())

it's now ...

     if usersubject:

So it would appear that I need to get python to recompile all the pyc 
files, is that correct?  How do I do that?  I tried touching the .py 
files to make them newer ...

Sorry, not a python guru ...
