Are you considering installing on your laptop or your host?

If your laptop, see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq05.002.htp

If the host,

Omitted from the above is Python. Mailman definitely requires Python.
See
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq05.008.htp

Also, to install on the host, root access is required for some key
steps. See http://www.list.org/mailman-install/index.html
