While I am an experienced programmer, with extensive Perl and Bash experience, I'm totally new to the Python ecosystem so I'm not familiar with things like `pip`, `bz`, and Virtualenv.

A tough question. How adventuresome are you?
There is a big advantage for you in going straight to MM 3 and that is you won't miss those MM 2.1 features that haven't yet been implemented in MM 3. ;)
I hesitate to advise you on a path here. There are pro and con arguments for both, but I *think* if I were in your place, I would at least try MM3.
To help me install MM3 I'm using the following two resources:
https://mailman-bundler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ http://wiki.list.org/HyperKitty/DevelopmentSetupGuide
So far I have successfully installed both Python 2.6 and 3.4 and upgraded to the latest version of
pippip 7.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)
It looks like the next thing I need to install GNU Bazaar. I thought I could do it with
pip, but ran into a problem and Google is of limited help to me. (Install Cython? Pyrex??)Any help, about this specific problem, or the wisdom of my jumping onto the MM3 wagon in general, would be appreciated.
I'm not sure about the pip issue, but how about yum? See <http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#CentOS.2FRHEL>
