Hi,
FWIW, I just installed 2.1.26 on a test system, and that command does not work for me:
$ mailman-config File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-config", line 34 print "mail_group: %s" % ""mail", "postfix", "mailman", "nobody", "daemon"" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Both that line and the following (for cgi_group) are double-quoted:
print "cgi_group: %s" % ""apache"" ... configure_opts: "--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --without-permcheck"
The issue is you're running configure --without-permcheck and you haven't specified --with-mail-gid and --with-cgi-gid.
If you don't specify those, configure looks for an existing group for mail-gid from "mailman other mail daemon" and for cgi-gid from "www www-data nobody". If you don't specify --without-permcheck, configure complains if it doesn't find a group in the system from the list, but if you do specify --without-permcheck and configure doesn't find a group it uses the whole "mailman other mail daemon" and/or "www www-data nobody" string which causes the issue you're seeing in mailman-config.
There will also be group mismatch errors in the configured wrappers in this case.
