Just as a datapoint, I helped someone on the Fedora list setup mailman
2.1.9 recently.  Fedora 7 uses python 2.5 and AFAICT, doesn't add any
patches to mailman for python 2.5 compatibility.  In some quick
testing, I've not run into any issues (not to say that there aren't
plenty of them lurking).

I just sent a message to a list where generic_nonmember_action is set
to hold and there wasn't any traceback or other error.  Perhaps
there's something else at play?  I wouldn't think the difference
between python 2.5 and 2.5.1 would be enough to cause this (though I'm
far from certain of that).
