Mailman 2.0.x comes with pipermail, which is pure Python, but real basic 
(no pun intended ;-), it only does archiving, not searching (the latter 
is no problem if the archives are public, since Google will pick them 
up). Don't know if Mailman 2.1 ships the same or something better. I 
think there are some Python-based indexing tools out there.
