>Description:
Python fails when trying to access socket code which is all the time. After I portupgraded mailman all my cron jobs failed and mail started to bounce. While trying to trace the problem I install a fresh copy of Python and mailman on a freshly install 4.5 box. Creating a list got me this;

gdead% newlist joe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./newlist", line 54, in ?
    from Mailman import MailList
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 30, in ?
    import socket
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ?
    from _socket import *
ImportError: No module named _socket

>How-To-Repeat:
Install mailman and try and create a list like so:
newlist <listname>
