During "make install" all the installed Mailman *.py files are compiled to *.pyc byte code files. It is in this process that the error occurs. >I notice just now >that in the Makefile the field DESTDIR is left blank.

I don't know what caused the error in my case, but I think it was not installing 2.5.1 in /usr/local per se, but rather something to do with leaving 2.4.3 installes and installing 2.5.1 along side in a different path. >> This is not a Mailman problem, It is a Python installation problem.

Do the following $python >>> import md5 I am sure that will produce the same error, and should convince you that the problem is with the python installation. >> Try >> <http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+%22no+module+named+_md5%22>.
