(In particular, bzr is known to behave badly when used python2.7 on OS X 10.7 at the moment – hopefully this will be fixed and no longer an issue soon.) You will need to install the latest version of XCode on MacOS 10.7, which is available for free from the app store. If you had a previous version of XCode installed when you upgraded to 10.7, it will no longer work and will not have automatically been upgraded, so be prepared to install again. Once you have it installed from the app store, you will still need to go run the installer from /Applications to complete the installation. |

This is a quick guide to setup a development environment to work on Postorius, Mailman 3's web ui. If all goes as planned, you should be done within ~5 minutes. This has been tested on Ubuntu 11.04 and OS X 10.8.1.
In order to download the components necessary you need to have the Bazaar VCS installed on your system. Mailman and mailman.client need at least Python version 2.6.
Set up your environment with virtualenv
If you're not already set up to develop with virtualenv, you should do so:
| Ubuntu | OS X |
| $ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential | $ brew install python $ echo "export PATH=/usr/local/share/python:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile $ source ~/.bash_profile $ pip install distribute |
You're almost there - just get virtualenv:
$ pip install virtualenv
You may wish to install Virtualenvwrapper as well for managing your environment with ease.
For the remaining bit, we're going to assume your virtual environment is called "postorius". You would initialize and activate it as follows:
| virtualenv only | with virtualenvwrapper |
| $ virtualenv postorius $ source postorius/bin/activate | $ mkvirtualenv postorius |
Now you should see (postorius) before your prompt.
Get the sources
(postorius)$ bzr branch lp:mailman (postorius)$ bzr branch lp:mailman.client (postorius)$ bzr branch lp:postorius (postorius)$ bzr branch lp:~mailman-coders/postorius/postorius_standalone
Install Django
(postorius)$ pip install django (postorius)$ pip install django-social-auth
Get everything set up
GNU Mailman 3
Install and test:
(postorius)$ cd mailman (postorius)$ python bootstrap.py (postorius)$ bin/buildout (postorius)$ bin/test
If you get no errors you can now start Mailman:
(postorius)$ bin/mailman start (postorius)$ cd ..
At this point Mailman will not send nor receive any real emails. But that's fine as long as you only want to work on the components related to the ReST client or the web ui.
mailman.client (the Python bindings for Mailman's ReST API)
(postorius)$ cd mailman.client (postorius)$ python setup.py develop (postorius)$ cd ..
Postorius
(postorius)$ cd postorius (postorius)$ python setup.py develop (postorius)$ cd ..
Start the development server
(postorius)$ cd postorius_standalone (postorius)$ python manage.py syncdb (postorius)$ python manage.py runserver
Now go to http://localhost:8000 to see the web UI for mailman!
Comments
It looks like bootstrap.py was removed in late July, marked as obsolete. I followed these instructions to get mailman and postorious running, except I replaced the bootstrap.py step with the following:
virtualenv --system-site-packages /path/to/your/installation $ source /path/to/your/installation/bin/activate $ python setup.py install
Now, if you get weird errors, remove the --system-site-packages from your virtualenv and try again. I guess depending on how your system is setup, it may or may not work with that option.
I wrote up a guide on how to get hyperkitty up and running for development, and it includes the full modified steps I ran based on this document to get mailman 3 working. That guide is here:

The latest setup guide is available here: http://gnu-mailman.readthedocs.org/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/WebUIin5.html
