The simplest solution might actually be to take the approach python-support uses. 1) The .py files stay where they are. 2) They are symlinked to a directory hierarchy within /var/lib. (This means directories are copied and files are symlinked.) 3) The .pyc files will get created on /var. 4) The module path has to be adapted from /usr/lib/mailman to something on /var. Therefore /usr/lib/mailman/bin/paths.py should be adapted. > However I indeed don't think this should be release critical, as you say, > it doesn't break when writing fails.
