it's one of those things about python that you either love, or you 
hate. and it's very much a religious issue among geeks.

leading white space in python is significant
To which I reply:
As a completely off-topic question:

of leading white space" to indicate block structure?  It seems absolutely 
guaranteed to cause problems such as this.

(Feel free to respond off-list.  I'm sincerely curious about this -- ever 
since I started looking at Python, this has bugged me.)

The patch at http://www.list.org/CAN-2005-0202.txt has been appied to
private.py and it looks like it may not have been applied correctly.
There is an issue with this patch and older versions of Python, but
the above error doesn't look like that.
It is mostly likely incorrect white space at the beginning of the line, 
leading white space in python is significant, fix the the white space to 
match the correct indendation level.

Also some folks forgot the definition of SLASH at the top of the file, 
don't forget that or you'll discover a new problem, SLASH isn't defined

Re: [Mailman-Users] bug in Mailman when accessing Private Archives

2005-02-16 Thread Christopher Adams 
Both answers mentioned a poor patch job. You are correct. Since I was 
unaware that the patch job had been done, I didn't know what to look 
for. I guess some text was simply pasted into the private.py file and it 
resulted in spaces rather than tabs. The intention was to manually do 
exactly what the automated patch job would supposedly do. I learn 
something new about Python every day.

Things are working again. Thanks.
