[Mailman-Users] missing python-modules on mailmain setup

Hello Everyone,

First off, my linux skills are in the learning stage so this may
be a very silly question.  I'm trying to setup mailman and I
have installed apache-1.3.23-14, postfix-1.1.7-2, and
python-1.5.2-38.  This is RH 7.3 and the installed python is the
single "python" selection from the RH installation disk.  When I
tried to install mailman-2.0.13-6.i386.rpm I get:

[root at lists root]# rpm -Uvh mailman-2.0.13-6.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        crondaemon is needed by mailman-2.0.13-6
        python-modules is needed by mailman-2.0.13-6

So I checked the archives and it was suggested I needed to
install python-devel-1.5.2-38.  I also installed the docs and
tools for the same version.  I'm still receiving the same error
as above.

Two obvious questions:
 - what is meant by python-modules since I can't seem to find
them on searches?
 - I have the crondaemon installed and running, isn't it crond
below?  If so why the error message?
