Summary: ImportError: No module named _socket

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I just wanted to try out Mailman on a Sun Solaris
machine and compiled therefore Python 2.2.

It did compile ok, but there seems to be a problem with
the socket library:

bash-2.03$ python /opt/PYthon/lib/python2.2/socket.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/PYthon/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ?
    from _socket import *
ImportError: No module named _socket


Could you help me with this problem.

Thanks a lot
Philipp Kolmann

MWH: I don't see the connection with SSL. More likely
somehow the socket module didn't get built. Quite possibly
his whole installation is hosed. Reducing the priority since
local configuration errors are usually not something that
Python can do anything about.

The problem is probably ssl support.  Try editing
Modules/Setup and uncommenting the line:

#_socket socketmodule.c

If you *need* ssl support, then you'll have to dig deeper...
