It's likely that `python' is not on the default $PATH for boot.local.
Does it work if you run

    /path/to/my/python /path/to/my/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start

instead?  mailmanctl uses a shebang line of /usr/bin/env to search for
the python executable.  I don't want to make mailmanctl autoconf
generated, but JD Bronson donated a boot script that could be made
autoconf'able.  I'll check it for Linux compatibility tomorrow and
check it in if it looks good.  I'll let others check for compatibility
on other *nixes.
