[Mailman-Users] config.db format?

[Tim Hunt]

I have been asked to 'automatically update' some mailing lists from an 
external database.  I can query this easily with Perl (sorry, never 
tried python), but can not seem to connect to the config.db files for 
the lists.

What is their format?  Are they Unix DB files, or a Mailman-specific 
format? If so, what is the data structure?  I've tried reading various 
bits of the python in the Mailman directories, but am no further ahead.

Thanks in advance for any help.
