When Python imports a module and the module's .py file is newer than the .pyc, it will read the .py, compile it and if it can, write the .pyc. The problem here is permissions. By the time the qrunners are importing anything, they are running as user:group mailman:mailman, and neither the user nor the group has permission to write Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.pyc. This is OK in general, but will lead to your particular issue. If you chown mailman Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.pyc (or maybe even 'chown -R mailman Mailman'), and then restart Mailman, SpamDetect.pyc will be updated. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
