[Mailman-Users] global change of forward_auto_discards usingwithlist

[Christopher Adams]

Thanks for your suggestions. I have been able to use withlist to make 
this change to one list. However, when I try to run it on all lists, I 
get the following error message.


 ./withlist -l -a -r autodiscard
Importing autodiscard...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./withlist", line 275, in ?
    main()
  File "./withlist", line 247, in main
    mod = __import__(module)
  File "./autodiscard.py", line 4
    m.Save()
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


Following is my autodiscard.py file:

###autodiscard.py
def autodiscard(m):
    m.forward_auto_discards = False
    m.Save()
    m.Unlock()


Can you point out an error in my syntax.

Thanks,

Christopher Adams
