[Mailman-Users] Error an configuring Mailman

[Jack Thomas]

You need to have write permissions, but I noticed you also seem to have an
older version of python installed.

Thus the error message:

> > ***** /usr/bin/python is too old (or broken)
> > ***** Python 1.5.2 or newer is required

You might want to verify what version of python you have installed on your
system.
