      Are you sure you are locked in?  If it's the Python version that is 
keeping you from upgrading Mailman, there is a way around that:


# wget 
<http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.3/Python-2.3.3.tgz>http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.3/Python-2.3.3.tgz
# tar xvzf Python-2.3.3.tgz
# cd Python-2.3.3
# ./configure
# make
# make altinstall

The altinstall gives you a new version of Python without messing with the 
old one(s).   Then when you configure Mailman just point it to the 
alternative version by inclucing:

  --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.3
