Help needed on obscure mailman bug



Hi,

I need some help on mailman bug #242740.

The bug submission (more exactly a followup) contains the following
unreproducible traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists", line 47, in ?
    from Mailman import MailList
  File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 43, in ?
    from Mailman import Utils
  File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 37, in ?
    import email.Header
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Header.py", line 13, in ?
    from email.Charset import Charset
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Charset.py", line 13, in ?
    lower_map = string.maketrans(string.ascii_uppercase,
string.ascii_lowercase)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ascii_uppercase'

which smells like a broken python installation to me.  When asked for
running and reporting results

---- snip ----
python <<EOF
import string
print string
print string.ascii_uppercase
import email.Charset
print email.Charset
EOF
---- snip ----

It should read:
---- snip ----
<module 'string' from '/usr/lib/python2.3/string.pyc'>
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
<module 'email.Charset' from '/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Charset.pyc'>
---- snip ----

the answer was:

> It does. No Problem at all... But the mailman still does not
> run... :-(

Some other tests suggested by L�szl�, another co-maintainer, seem
to succeed too such that I must admit to have run out of ideas.

Any help leading towards isolation of the problem is greatly
appreciated.

TIA
 . Siggy
