Cron DeprecationWarning with Python 2.4

[Schoinobates]

This is Debian bug #341699: http://bugs.debian.org/341699

The cron script senddigests spews:
 DeprecationWarning: get_type() deprecated; use
get_content_type()
   ctype = part.get_type(part.get_default_type())

Here's a patch that shuts up the warning, as you want
to keep Python 2.1 compatibility (get_content_type()
appeared in Python 2.2.2).

It seems I have forgotten to attach the patch.

Is this still an issue in Hardy?

I don't know. Ask a Ubuntu user. I filed that bug _upstream_, in
SourceForge, and it was automatically imported into Launchpad from
SourceForge. That's no reason to ask me Ubuntu-specific questions.

It was fixed in Debian; the reference to the Debian bug is right there
in the bug report; if you merged with Debian since then, it is
fixed. Else, you might have applied the same patch (or a patch with
equivalent effect) independently. If you did neither, then it is still
an issue.

The deprecation warning comes about in the first place in Debian/Ubuntu because Debian does not install the email package that ships with GNU Mailman in Mailman's pythonlib.

This all becomes moot in Mailman 2.1.12 as Python 2.4 is a minimum requirement and we also don't install an older email package for python 2.1 compatibility.
