So mailman got completely installed and got to the last step which is
running bin/update to update the previously existing installation if
any. If this is a brand new install, you're done except there is a
problem with importing the korean codecs.

Things to check (although I don't know how your later Python update may
fit in)

Is there now a /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean/ (installed by the
last make install)? Does it have at least mappings/ and python/
subdirectories and do all three of these directories including korean/
itself have several .py and .pyc files including a __init__.py and
__init__.pyc in each? Also is there a file
/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/korean.pth?

Does /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py contain among other things

prefix = '/usr/local/mailman'

and later on

# We also need the pythonlib directory on the path to pick up any
overrides of
# standard modules and packages.  Note that these must go at the front
of the
# path for this reason.
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(prefix, 'pythonlib'))

If all the above is true, I can't understand the error.

It's not supposed to be.
