-- withlist is your friend.

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 NotAMember

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

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