Nope, this will more than suffice. Keeping the script's operations in 
the Mailman hierarchy prevents dependencies on permissions, and 
follows the precedent of the other scripts. There's no point 
in getting your python code involved in all the possible local 
variations, let the calling script (if there is one) handle that logic.
Nice.
