All the code in the docs was run as part of the doctest suite when you
ran the tests, so it presumably works in your install. I suspect the
issue is you just don't have paths and things set right.

If you actually want to run Python code, you should run it via
Mailman's "bin/mailman shell" (or "bin/mailman withlist" which is the
same thing).

However, for creating lists and other common tasks, there are
subcommands of the bin/mailman command. Run "bin/mailman help" for
more info.
