I downloaded the source for Python 2.3.4 and ran configure, make and make install - I have some experience doing installations like this and am quite comfortable doing it.
It appears to have been installed correctly, but when I run "python -V" in Terminal to check the version number, it still shows the Apple-installed version 2.2.
How do I get the system to default to the new installation of Python?
The new Python will be in /usr/local/bin/python, you have to make sure it is used in stead of Apple's Python 2.2 (which is in /usr/bin/python).
It's been a long time since I installed mailman, but I wouldn't be surprised if the easiest way to get mailman to use your new Python is to re-install mailman, making sure you use /usr/local/bin/python. Do this by putting /usr/local/bin in your $PATH before /usr/bin and then running configure. [checking...] Yes, that's easiest. Or you can use the --with-python option to configure.
