Hi Simon. I can reproduce this with Python2.7 on Ubuntu 10.10. This is caused by the locknix package, which depends on setuptools_bzr. The issues you've identified with bzr on Python2.7 are causing the setuptools_bzr dependency to fail. The upstream fix is to remove this dependency from the locknix setup.py file. I'll try to do that in the next day or so. Once I release a new locknix package, it should work again. (Side note: I want to move locknix into the flufl namespace package, so things will change a bit more at some point in the future, but I won't block a quick fix on that reorganization.) >Incidentally, are there plans to allow installs to a different location? >If you specify a prefix to install under, it checks for the presence of >the Python site-packages and fails if they're not present.

If you can, submit a bug report. Ideally, the 'mailman' package will be installed under site-packages (or dist-packages for the Debuntudes in the audience ;) and you'll have access to just the few command line scripts in /usr/bin. Alternatively, it should be possible to build Mailman 3 in a virtualenv to stick it anywhere you want, though I haven't tried that in a while. -Barry
