It would be an interesting experiment, but I recommend against it on a
production system.

You should backup your lists and re-install.  When you re-install, be
sure to point at the python 2.2 install

   --with-python=</path/to/python>
         Specify an alternative Python interpreter to use for the
         wrapper programs.  The default is to use the interpreter
         found first on your shell's $PATH.  Note that when running
         the scripts from the command line, the first Python
         interpreter found on $PATH is always used.
