That is correct. There were a few isinstance(something, str) calls in
HTMLFormatter.py and htmlformat.py that I added in 2.1.9. They're still
there, and I don't know what other things I may have added since that
require Python 2.3.

The wiki page at <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Mailman+2.1> is very
clear that we require at least Python 2.3 for the 2.1 branch from 2.1.9
forward.
