Hi Mark,
Our emails crossed here. I just tried importing my handler on the
python prompt and the syntax error popped obvious. The minute the
pipeline for the list was set with /bin/config_list I could see the pyc
so I knew I was in business.
A final question : I see now that even restarting Mailman won't change
the list-specific handler application and one needs to explicitly delete
it if one wants to get rid of it. That's a good thing. But where are
list-specific pipeline defs stored ?
Thanx!

It seems the handler stops the list from working. When I delete the new
pipeline the list works fine so it's the Python file (or the way I
included it in the pipeline ?) that has a problem.
I've tried including a she-bang line or not (see below for both the
handler and the text file used to shove it in the list pipeline),
importing Message in addition to UserNotification and a few other things
to no avail. One thing I find odd is that the handler doesn't get a
.pyc file upon restart. Should I expect that or does it get created the
first time it is invoked ?
The .pyc file will not get created until the handler is imported which
does not happen until IncomingRunner handles a post for a list which
has the handler in its pipeline.
Also, IncomingRunner is a python process which imports the handler, so
no shebang line is required.
I've copied the file over from a windows machine and I took care of
chowning it so it has the same permissions as the other Handlers. The
file looks ok in vi. What other options do I have before pdb ?
Check Mailman's error log.
Also, see below.
=== BackupErrors.py ===
[...]
def process(mlist, msg, msgdata):
subject = Utils.oneline(msg['subject'], 'us-ascii')
if re.search('.*error.*', subject, re.IGNORECASE)
I misled you here. The above line needs to be
if re.search('.*error.*', subject, re.IGNORECASE):
The missing colon results in a syntax error which causes all list posts
to be shunted. There will be an error message and traceback in
Mailman's error log. If the messages that were shunted are wanted, you
can process them with Mailman's bin/unshunt. If not, remove them from
qfiles/shunt.
