I found a solution!
Mark Sapiro deserves all the credit for helping me out a TON
=)
Here is my documentation in the hope that it will help someone in the future.
---------------------------
Mark writes:
The basic problem is that the python library or at least the one
containing the site-packages/ into which MySQLdb was installed is
/usr/lib64/python2.4 rather than /usr/lib/python2.4.
Mailman starts a lot of Python processes with the -S option which
bypasses importing the site module at startup and this is what
normally puts the path to site-packages in sys.path. Mailman attempts
to do this itself in its own paths module which everything imports,
but it assumes the path begins with /usr/lib/pythonv.v so it never got
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages into sys.path.
The bit added to extend.py does this when it replaces the
MemberAdaptor, so MysqlMemberships can successfully import MySQLdb.
--------------------------
Aaron adds:
We changed extend.py to be:
import sys
if '/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages' not in sys.path:
sys.path.append('/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages')
from Mailman.MysqlMemberships import MysqlMemberships
def extend(list):
list._memberadaptor = MysqlMemberships(list)
--------------------------
To track down the fact that the module's directory was wrong we had to fix a
bug in Mailman's error logging:
There is a bug in the error logging code in
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/scripts/driver
Edit that file. Find
def print_environment(logfp=None):
if logfp is None:
logfp = sys.__stderr__
try:
import os
except ImportError:
os = None
# Write some information about our Python executable to the log
file.
print>> logfp, '[----- Python Information -----]'
print>> logfp, 'sys.version =', sys.version
print>> logfp, 'sys.executable =', sys.executable
print>> logfp, 'sys.prefix =', sys.prefix
print>> logfp, 'sys.exec_prefix =', sys.exec_prefix
print>> logfp, 'sys.path =', sys.exec_prefix
print>> logfp, 'sys.platform =', sys.platform
Change the next to last line of that from
print>> logfp, 'sys.path =', sys.exec_prefix
to
print>> logfp, 'sys.path =', sys.path
and then see what's reported for sys.path in the traceback.
---------------------------
Finally because my Cpanel installation of mailman was creating mailing lists that had
"." in their name, and MySQL does not create tables with a period in the name I
modified the code for MysqlMemberships.py
A global replace of
self.__mlist.internal_name()
with
self.__mlist.internal_name().replace('.', '_')
