Ooops!
This statement in HTMLFormatter.py and a couple of similar 'isinstance'
calls in htmlformat.py are part of the security changes in Mailman
2.1.9. The problem is the use of str as the type argument requires
Python 2.3.
The quick and dirty fix in all three cases is to replace str with
types.StringType or with type(''). I.e.
HTMLFormatter - line 336 change
if isinstance(value, str):
to either
if isinstance(value, types.StringType):
or
if isinstance(value, type('')):
htmlformat.py - line 452 change
if isinstance(value, str):
to
if isinstance(value, types.StringType):
or
if isinstance(value, type('')):
htmlformat.py - line 465 change
if isinstance(text, str):
to
if isinstance(text, types.StringType):
or
if isinstance(text, type('')):
(or upgrade your Python :-) )
