Can you successfully start mailman (or run any mailman commands) with, e.g. ``` /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman start
or
/opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman info
without activating the venv?Yes. All those are working without activating venv.
On my test installation with /etc/systemd/system/mailman3.service installed per https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#starting-mailman...
systemctl start|stop|status mailman3
all work. Assuming
python3 -c 'from pkg_resources import load_entry_point'(not in your venv) returns no error, try replacing /opt/mailman/venv/bin/mailman with
#!/opt/mailman/venv/bin/python3 # EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'mailman==3.3.5','console_scripts','mailman' __requires__ = 'mailman==3.3.5' import re import sys from pkg_resources import load_entry_point if __name__ == '__main__': sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0]) sys.exit( load_entry_point('mailman==3.3.5', 'console_scripts', 'mailman')() )Or in yours posted at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/... replace everything from the first
try:throughglobals().setdefault(...)withfrom pkg_resources import load_entry_pointand see if that helps.
I did the second alternative and replaced from "try" to the "globals ...". It works when I started it directly. However, I get a detailed traceback when systemd tries to start it.
Here is what I got:

It seems one of the dependent packages (zope) requires certain privileges that systemd does not have. This may be what was failing initially. How might one solve this?
