Thanks to all for the advice. I have some learning to do. I actually have VirtualBox installed and for the sprint I had a Vagrant VM set up running the basic http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box. I had set up a virtualenv on this box with Sphinx installed for the Sphinx tutorial at PyCon, and this worked really well. When I got to the Mailman sprint, I tried to install MM 3 on this Vagrant VM, and I ran into some error with buildout trying to compile some package and failing with a missing Python.h file. I ran 'sudo apt-get install python-dev' on the VM which I thought would fix it, and the install seemed to run OK, but I still had no Python.h. At that point, I gave up and went to a virtualenv on my production server. At this point, I don't know whether the best approach is look for a more complete development box for Vagrant or figure out how to provision the basic Vagrant box with what I need or forget Vagrant and install directly in VirtualBox or go with a dual-boot. Anyway, it's going to be interesting to figure this out. - -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
