Are you sure it's Python that's the culprit?  We really need to know
more about your environment.  What MTA (and version)?  What version of
Python?  Did you build it from scratch or install a binary?  What are
the sizes of messages, traffic, number of lists, number of
subscribers, etc.?  What version of Mailman? ;)
