Also - Yum, Up2Date, and almost all python programs are similarly disfunctional but produce different errors. Yet I did install the latest and greatest stuff and did a few reinstalls just to make sure. I'm stumped. and wondering if I need to revert back to Redhat 7.3.

Am I the only one here that's tried to upgrade to Fedora?

This is not a Mailman problem as such but a Python configuration/installation compatibility problem.


It looks as though the standard Python socket module you have installed has been built with support for SSL connections but was built against a different version or different configuration of (presumably) openSSL to that actually installed on your system.

You should be able to confirm that is the problem by running Python from the command line and entering the 'import socket' statement. If that generates an Import Error exception then my analysis is correct.

How did you install openSSL and Python; from source or RPMs? It might be worth checking the Redhat support lists.

By the way, for a non-Redhat user and besides it being a type of hat, what does "Fedora" mean in terms of Redhat Linux release numbers/versions.
