Markive - A Mailing List Archiving Tool Written in Moto

Markive is a MySQL based mailing list archiving and search program written in Python and The Moto Programming Language .

You only need Moto installed if you plan to use the web interface. The database insertion tool (markive-save.py from markive-tools) has been rewritten in Python. The markive-save.py script has been tested with Python 2.2.1, but may work with others. You will need to have the MySQLdb module installed, which can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python.

Installation instructions are included in the markive-tools package, but basically it boils down to running:

  # ./configure [options]
  # ./setup

Current versions:

markive-0.3.tar.gz - The Moto based web interface.
markive-tools-0.11.tar.gz - The Python scripts to insert messages into the database.
