Thanks for giving me a heads up about this.  What I've done is put  
the definitive information in the wiki:

http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Installation+requirements

then I updated the online documentation to recommend Python 2.4.4 (as  
of its current writing), but point to that wiki page for more up-to- 
date information.

BTW, hopefully we've learned our lessons with Python patch releases.   
There /will/ be a Python 2.5.1 but I'm fairly confident that it will  
not break anything in Mailman 2.1.9 or beyond.

Cheers,
