I'm not a solaris guy so I don't know what the nuanced differences
between the two Python installs might be that allows the codecs to be
compiled with one and not the other, but in general, Mailman 2.1.11
should work fine with Python 2.5.1.

Also, if you are going to use the new sibling lists feature -
regular_{include|exclude}_lists, it requires at least Python 2.4
because it uses Python sets. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9> and
<http://wiki.list.org/x/bAM>.
