[Systers-dev] Mailman import error

[स्वक्ष]

Hi All,

Within Ubuntu9.10, I created an isolated environment for Systers code,
but, while trying to install mailman in a virtual environment, I get
the following errors. I am not sure  but does these errors have
anything to do with the isolated environment?

(systers)me at zee:~$ sudo gedit /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
(systers)me at zee:~$ cd /usr/local/mailman
(systers)me at zee::/usr/local/mailman$ sudo bin/genaliases
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the sha
module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
 import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "bin/genaliases", line 42, in <module>
   from Mailman import MailList

   import mailbox

   import email.message
ImportError: No module named message

(systers)me at zee:/usr/local/mailman$ sudo chown mailman:mailman data/aliases*
chown: cannot access `data/aliases*': No such file or directory
(systers)me at zee:/usr/local/mailman$ sudo chmod g+w data/aliases*
chmod: cannot access `data/aliases*': No such file or directory

Also, when I checked out the Systers code from LP, it has a "mailman"
folder which, I assume, contains the systers branch. I have not
reached the "Pull Production Branch from Launchpad" section on the
installation page so can anyone clarify this please?

Any help is appreciated.
