I recently discovered that all of my moderated posts have been failing, most likely because my mailman version was older than my python version.
This is the error:

My python version is 2.6.2, and I've been very careful to be sure that older pythons are not in the PATH.
The first thing I did was update mailman to 2.1.14, which seemed to go just fine, but I still see this error. The timestamps of all the executables are current, and were overwritten by the new versions. The "version' command reports 2.1.14.
