New 'withlist' Script Enhances List Management for Mailing Lists

For those engaged in hardcore debugging, there's an invaluable new script called `bin/withlist`. It can be executed easily by navigating to your mailing list directory and running `python -i bin/withlist mylist`. This tool, which maintains full functionality—not just read-only access—enables more straightforward adjustments to list settings. Additionally, a future enhancement is suggested: implementing a `-l` flag for locking and supporting commands or file arguments for global changes without the need for an Expect-like environment.

  1. > For you hardcore

  2. > debugging types, there's a new script called bin/withlist which you

  3. > can run like so:

  4. >

  5. > % cd ~mailman

  6. > % python -i bin/withlist mylist

  7. > Loading list: mylist (unlocked)

  8. > >>> m.members

  9. > {'bwarsaw@cnri.reston.va.us': 0}

  10. > >>>

  11. *Very* nice... I especially like the fact that it inherits all

  12. functionality, not just the read-only ones. I've already (AFTER

  13. the last bug report) gone ahead and changed certain settings

  14. for all lists with it.

  15. Future wish feature... Use a -l flag to determine locking, then

  16. another argument that is either a command to run, or a filename

  17. with commands to run. Then it's a lot easier to make global changes

  18. and saves without having to run things in an Expect-like environment.
