Yes, but why would the spec file have python in it - as I understood from
"I had to change the spec file slightly (use postfix and python2 instead
of sendmail and python)" when Mailman 2.x requires python2, so if the
Mailman spec file for the RPM of 2.x has python in it and NOT python2
there's a problem.

However, I assume that /really/ the spec file just links to
/usr/bin/python, expecting it to be python2, when some of us (like me,
too) have /usr/bin/python -> python1.x and /usr/local/bin/python ->
python2.x

Something like that. That's me wasting time again. Gotta stop this
knee-jerk mailinglist posting habit o'mine.
