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. Please note that the Python provided by apple for OSX will not work; you need to install your own version of python (e.g. using fink or macports). The Mac Mailman development setup guide has instructions using homebrew if you need additional instructions.
Set up your environment
Install the essentials
$ sudo apt-get install bzr python-setuptools python-dev build-essential postfix
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
If you get permission errors on this step, your ssh key is probably not in sync with what is on launchpad.net.
Install Django
(postorius)$ pip install django==1.4 (postorius)$ pip install django-social-auth
Set up sources
GNU Mailman 3
(postorius)$ cd mailman (postorius)$ python setup.py install (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
Profit!
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
