It appears that you installed a broken backup.

It was not a good idea to install an entire backup. The only thing that 
needed to be restored from backup was the apparently corrupt 
/usr/local/mailman/lists/cartaoberro/config.pck file.

If possible, you should go back to what you had prior to the restore and 
then replace only that one file with the one from the backup.

If that is not possible, the above error is caused by an incorrect value 
for PYTHON or for PREFIX in Defaults.py. These are set by configure, so 
the problem appears to be that the backup you restored was 
mis-configured and not a working Mailman or the restore was incomplete, 
or the location of 'python' has changed since the backup.

You really need to go back to your "almost working except for the 
cartaoberro list" Mailman and just restore that one list's config.pck. 
If you can't do that, you may have to just start over.
