See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.016.htp>
for information about this kind of error.

What you really need to do is contact your packager, however I think in
most cases, Postfix excecutes the pipe to Mailman using the user and
group of the file in which it found the alias that contains the pipe
to Mailman. So, you could try adjusting that.
