It means Postorius (postorius), HyperKitty (mailman-hyperkitty) and therefore the supporting project modules they import, mailmanclient and django-mailman3 all require Python 2.7. Not 'at least' Python 2.7, but some 2.7.x. Python 2.7 and Python 3 are significantly different. Programs can be bilingual, but not all of Postorius, HyperKitty and their dependencies are fully Python 3 compatible yet. This means you need Python 3.4 or later for Mailman core and Python 2.7.x for Postorius and HyperKitty. These are quite capable of coexisting on the same box and that is probably what you want, but it is possible to run Postorius and HyperKitty on a separate box, but there are potential security issues involved in exposing the core's REST interface beyond 'localhost'. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
