[Mailman-Users] installation problem

[Matthew Davis]

It might be possiable that you have 2 different installations of python?
And root is using the correct version.  The traceback shows its using
/usr/local/bin/python and root might be using another binary.

As root figure out what python binary it's using.

# which python

And you need to reconfigure mailman to use that python installation.
