the only idea i have is to do a parallel installation of Python 2.2.2 - and point MailMan to this installation - but i'm NOT sure about this ! it's also a little dangerous and timecomsuming task (expect 2-3 hours) - and i did't want to break your servers config !!!
I am also looking at having to do this, and would love to hear from
anyone who has done it. You are correct that updating Python will trash Ensim. My Ensim has two versions of Python (neither is high enough) and I can point things to the other one just fine - so it is possible to have two installations. Now I just need to figure out how to install a second version without messing with the other ones.

It's been so long since I installed a new version of Python, so I don't remember it all. However, it seems that in the ./config there's an option to place the new installation somewhere other than over the old installation. Have you tried reading the "Build Instructions" in the README file? Reading instructions is good.
