You probably have a problem with your Python installation.
_socket is part of the standard Python library providing support for the UNIX/BSD socket interface. Unless and until you can run python from the command line and enter the command "import socket" without getting an exception raised then there is no point in trying to do the Mailman install. You may need to re-install Python.
For instance, the following shows the socket module is installed properly (no exccption raised by the import):
[machine!/home/barrett]:python Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 11 2004, 13:30:18) [GCC 3.3.2] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import socket >>> import sys >>> sys.exit() [machine!/home/barrett]:
