Python 2.5.1 should be file for Mailman 2.1.11 or 2.1.12. There is
nothing about the statement

try:
import paths
except ImportError:
print '''Could not import paths!

This probably means that you are trying to run check_perms from the
source
directory.  You must run this from the installation directory instead.
'''
raise
-

That should throw a syntax error with any Python 2.x version. Is
bin/check_perms garbled somehow. Have you tried diffing it with your
existing server version?

[Mailman-Users] Check_perms reports invalid syntax?

[Bill Christensen]

Hi all,

I'm setting up a new server with Mailman.

After installing I tried
bin/check_perms -f
and got:
file "bin/check_perms", line 44
'''
   ^
Syntax error: invalid syntax

I'm running Python 2.5.1.   My existing server, running Mailman 
2.1.11/Python 2.3, has the same line and no problems with it.


Any ideas?   Do I need to upgrade or patch Python, and if so which 
2.5 or better version works with Mailman?


thanks
