This all made me curious. I'm just a user of Mailman on Mac OS X - no development of any sort by me - so I'm good with 2.1.9 and Python 2.3.5 on 10.4.7 - but this topic made me look at the Python 2.5 package at python.org. I finally figured out that the MacOS X python installer installs a new version in /usr/local/bin (as well as other places) separate from the Tiger provided version in /usr/bin. But how would you get mailman to use the user installed version? mailmanctl has #! /usr/bin/python at the top which will send it to the Tiger provided version. Of course you could modify mailmanctl but that would be subject to being overwritten when a new version of mailman is installed. Or is that the way it would need to be done? For me, it's all academic at least until mailman 2.2 comes along. Maybe Leopard will come with a later version of python. But I am curious and this sort of exercise does help me understand how the various pieces fit together. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stonejongleux.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
