That will work, or you can simply install the updated Python in a
different directory and when you install Mailman, point it to the New
Python install.  Works a treat!

Good Luck - Jon Carnes

BTW: The "bug" message is simply Python's way of saying that there was a
problem with running the program - it doesn't mean the program has a
bug. In your case, it means that the modules it needed were missing. 
You should feel free to run Mailman version 2.1.4, it's very solid and
reliable.
