Thanks for the info!

Exactly. It lets you have multiple versions of Python living in the
same directory. Do a regular "make install" for you main one, and
altinstalls for all your alternatives. You don't wanna know how many
are in my /usr/local/bin! :)

--prefix on either Python's or Mailman's configure just says to put
*everything* under the specified directory. By default Python's
prefix is /usr/local while Mailman's is /usr/local/mailman.
Using --prefix is a good way to make sure that Python is completely
distinct and separate from any other, so it's another way to go if you
want.
