Thanks to Joe, Greg & David.  Changing the name of the
python executable back from the recommended python.exe
to python let the mailman installation & checks work.
(Sorry for the double post; a bounce message made me
think it hadn't gotten posted the first time.)

Now, I'm looking at security issues WRT configuration.
"You want to be very sure that the user id under
 which your CGI scripts run is *not* in the 'mailman'
 group..."
But I don't see any words indicating how the username
which executes the CGI scripts is controlled (other
than merely controlling what users have access to the
CGI directories in write mode).  Do I need to set up
one or more usernames for that purpose, or will
nobody serve, or??
