[Mailman-Users] bulk deletion of pending requests

[Dan Busarow]

I've kept this little bit of python handy for cleaning out posts
in moderated lists that end up with too many posts to handle manually.

>    > python -i $prefix/bin/withlist -l [listname]

This is no longer working for me.  No idea when it stopped working
since it is not used very often. When I run it I get

$ python -i `pwd`/bin/withlist -l faucettalk
Loading list: faucettalk (locked)
>>> m.requests={}
>>> m.Save()
>>>
Unlocking (but not saving) list: faucettalk
Finalizing
$


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Dan
