I installed Mailman-2.0.5 with Python-2.1, and also had module import
errors.  I discovered that the problem is that Python-2.1's "make install"
installed files into /usr/lib/python2.1 with severely FUBARed permissions.

Try this:

chown -R root.root /usr/lib/python2.1
chmod -R go-w,a+rX /usr/lib/python2.1

Then see if Mailman works better for you.
