[Mailman-Users] subscribing subscribers to topics

[Christopher Adams]

That addtopics.py was a typo. The name of the file is addtopic.py, but 
when I run withlist, I get the error message that I quoted, that the 
addtopic module doesn't exist. Do I have to 'install' the module or 
something? I am a novice with Python, so am unfamiliar with modules, but 
I have been reading a bit. Any help is most appreciated.
