Yes. That's correct in this case, but there are at least 12 other uses
of the message get_type() method in other Mailman modules, so unless
you want to change them all, it's better to figure out why you don't
have the proper pythonlib/

Is there a Makefile in the source misc/ directory? was it executed
during make install? This Makefile should among other things install
the email library and Japanese and Korean codecs in pythonlib.

You could try just running 'make install' in the source misc/ directory
and see what happens.
