Sorry for the delay in response here. This is still a problem for me,  
and I would still like this problem resolved.

Yes, I've tried reinstalling both Python and Mailman, and upgraded to  
newer port revisions of Mailman which have been released since this  
message. I'm still getting the same error message when I go to start  
Mailman via its rc script:

... snip
Traceback (most recent call last):
:
: No module named getopt  File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line  
76, in ?

     ImportErrorimport getopt
No module named getopt:
No module named getopt
ImportErrorCould not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
: No module named getopt
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 76, in ?
     import getopt
ImportError: No module named getopt



Any ideas here?
