Did you install it in the same location as and replacing any previous
version of python on the system?

which indicates something went wrong with your installation if your install
$prefix was /home/mailman and the 'make install' did not put a copy of the
MM 2.1.4 qrunner into /home/mailman/bin

put what from where to where?

If the 'make install' had executed correctly you should not have had to copy
over/install any files by hand.

MM 2.1.4 does not normally execute a file called $prefix/cron/qrunner and
not from its normal crontab. If cron is trying to execute a qrunner scr8pt
it is probably the old Mailman installation's crontab that is so doing. Did
you check that this had been removed before you installed the new MM 2.1.4
crontab? Did you install the MM 2.1.4 crontab?

The syntax error you reported originally could come about if:

1. your old MM crontab was not removed

2. you copied a copy of the MM 2.1.4 qrunner into $prefix/cron/

3. your old MM crontab referenced an older python installation still on your
system and not the Python 2.3.3 you have installed

4. as a result, an entry in the old MM crontab tried to execute the
(daemon) qrunner used by MM 2.1.4 with an old version of python which saw a
feature used in the new code as being a syntax error
