I'm not aware of any GUI installer for Python, but make sure that your paths are correct, and that you're picking up the right version. How you do this will depend on what shell you're running, but you need to know where the various versions are installed, and which order they are found in your path.


For example, /usr/bin/python might be version 2.2, but /usr/local/bin/python might be version 2.3.4.

It may also be that the new version is installed in the correct place, and you simply haven't told your shell to update its concept of what binaries are installed where. A simple "rehash" command may be required to pick up the more recent version. Or closing that window and opening a new one may do the trick. Or maybe logging out and logging back in again. There are many different ways to skin this cat, depending on the precise nature of the problem.


But path issues, picking up the right version, etc... is getting more into standard Unix commands and familiarity with your shell, and are not problems with Mailman per se.


In this case, I'd recommend the books "MacOS X: The Missing Manual, Panther Edition" (see <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/macxmmpanther/>) and "Learning Unix for MacOS X Panther" (see <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lunixpanther/>).
