I am attempting to create multiple administrative pages for security reasons. 
One will remain unchanged and allow our department access to all mailing lists
and options, and the other will be a modified version that disables such
options as modifying maximum message size, editing of HTML user interfaces,
etc.  My problem is that I am unable to generate an object file to place
within $prefix/mailman/cgi-bin.  I have everything all worked out, except this
problem is keeping me from viewing more pages than already exist within
cgi-bin. What I would like to do it take a modified version of, for instance,
the admin.py file (renamed ANRadmin.py) and create within the cgi-bin
directory a file called ANRadmin that is analogous to the file admin that is
alreay within cig-bin.  I know that I must be missing something obvious, and I
wouldn't be posting this if I hadn't already spent weeks on this project. (I
had to familiarize myself with no only mailman but python and cgi scripts.) 
Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
