The target box for the install is my desktop workstation, Linux Mint (a Ubuntu knock-off) running on a virtual machine; not otherwise an issue. I don't grok "virtualenv", nor zope either, having never really encountered either one. I _do_ know enough about python to offer some possibly productive suggestion and patches to the mm code itself, but I don't know if I have the personal bandwidth to learn a couple of new technologies and debug the install system in order to do this. Jessy Kate, can you send me an online reference on setting up a proper virtual environment? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com | _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
