FYI for the list:
- Downloaded Python 2.3 tgz.
- Configured with alternate prefix (/usr/local/python2.3)
- Built 2.3
- Reconfigured mailman 2.1.5 with new python binary location.
- Recompiled mailman.
Mailman was off during this procedure.
Seems to be working fine.

If I install 2.3, is there an easy way to get Mailman to use that instead of an older Python2 version?
I think that depends on how you install it. If you install it over the existing Python 2.2 installation, that should work. Alternatively, if you stop Mailman, de-install Python 2.2, then install Python 2.3, that should also work.
Otherwise, you're likely to have to play some interesting games with alternative directories, unusual paths, perhaps some symbolic links, and who knows what else.
