Tollef's patch to make the current package work with Woody is at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200312/msg02271.html

It makes Mailman use Python 2.2 instead of 2.3. However, the Mailman
documentation[0] says "Mailman should work with latest patch release on
any Python branch from 2.1 to 2.3, which as of this writing
(31-Dec-2003) is Python 2.1.3, Python 2.2.3, and Python 2.3.3". Woody
has 2.1.3, but only 2.2.1, which is quite old. Can anyone say which is
preferable?

PS Please CC me any replies, as I'm reading the list from the web
archives. Thanks.
