[Mailman-Developers] Determining if a user or list has moderation

[andy nicholson]

Hi
You are calling the 'withlist' command wrong.

You havent specified what you put into the checkModerated.py script, but
thats kinda by the by, since

from "withlist -h":

    -r [module.]callable
        This can be used to run a script with the opened MailList object.
        This works by attempting to import `module' (which must be in the
        directory containing withlist, or already be accessible on your
        sys.path), and then calling `callable' from the module.  callable can
        be a class or function; it is called with the MailList object as the
        first argument.  If additional args are given on the command line,
        they are passed as subsequent positional args to the callable.

        Note that `module.' is optional; if it is omitted then a module with
        the name `callable' will be imported.

        The global variable `r' will be set to the results of this call.

if you use "-r" you need to call a function, not give it a script name
(hence the error  .. no ".py" attribute)

keep reading down that help screen, and ..
"
As another example, say you wanted to change the password for a particular
user on a particular list.  You could put the following function in a file
called `changepw.py':

from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError

def changepw(mlist, addr, newpasswd):
    try:
        mlist.setMemberPassword(addr, newpasswd)
        mlist.Save()
    except NotAMemberError:
        print 'No address matched:', addr

and run this from the command line:
 % bin/withlist -l -r changepw mylist somebody at somewhere.org foobar

"

hope that helps ;)
