Mailman 2.1.5 requires latest Python!

[H2Hosting.com]

Hello,

If you find anything wrong in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs/error, check your Python version! If it is 2.1.1, Mailman will not work correctly!

My problem - when a customer send email to his mailing list ... nothing is happening.
Error is following:

1) So, the question - can I upgrade Python manually or Cpanel team fix this problem?
What do you think?

2) What is a reason to support Mailman on Cpanel if Mailman does not work???

What OS are you running? Python 2.1.1 is by far VERY old.

Oldest I have seen still floating around is the RHEL 3 / CentOS 3 one which is 2.2.3.

Actually, the problem is fixed by installing new (latest) Python from sources
