I think so. From source, Python will install in /usr/local/bin by
default, but Mandrake puts it in /usr/bin/python I believe. I've got
MD8.1 on my laptop, and /usr/bin/python is 2.1.1.
Python install trick: if you want to have multiple version of Python
live side-by-side in /usr/local, use "make install" for the one you
want to be the default, and "make altinstall" for the others. Thus,
you'll have /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/pythonX.Y where X
is the major rev and Y is the minor rev. You can't have micro (bug
fix) releases live side-by-side AFAIK.

Yeah, this is definitely a fragile bit of the configuration for
Postfix integration. Probably too fragile for production. Sigh.

Hmm, Python 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 ought to work just fine, with the add-on
email package of course.
