Public bug reported:

I am on a stock Ubuntu 14.04 machine (a Digital Ocean virtual server).
When I run "mailman start" I get this traceback:

$ mailman start
Starting Mailman's master runner
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mailman", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('mailman==3.0.0b6', 'console_scripts', 'mailman')()
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/mailman-3.0.0b6-py3.4.egg/mailman/bin/mailman.py",
 line 100, in main
    args.func(args)
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/mailman-3.0.0b6-py3.4.egg/mailman/commands/cli_control.py",

  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/os.py", line 489, in execl
    execv(file, args)
TypeError: Can't convert 'NoneType' object to str implicitly


For reference, my .bash_history (removing the bits where I, e.g., used aptitude 
to check that I wanted python3-setuptools, and annotating where I got errors):


  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install bzr python-setuptools python-dev build-essential postfix
  mkdir repos
  cd repos/
  bzr branch lp:mailman
  bzr branch lp:mailman.client
  bzr branch lp:postorius
  bzr branch lp:~mailman-coders/postorius/postorius_standalone
  cd mailman
  python setup.py install # got error - it wants Python 3
  python3 setup.py install # got ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'
  sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
  sudo python3 setup.py install
  sudo mailman start


(And if I made an error in installing here, please let me know and I'll fix the 
docs.)
