I'm not sure what the issue is. What happens if you do the following:

mark at mark-VirtualBox:~/mm/scrubber$ bin/mailman shell
Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell

>>> from mailman.testing import layers
>>> from mailman.config import config
>>> config.push('temp', """
... [mta]
... smtp_port: 9025
... """)
>>> x = layers.SMTPLayer()
>>> x.setUp()

In the above, "mark at mark-VirtualBox:~/mm/scrubber$" is a shell prompt in
the directory in which you built Mailman at which you type what follows
on that line. ">>> " and "... " are python interpreter prompts at which
you type what follows on that line. Type control-D (end of file) at the
last such prompt. The other lines are the responses I get.
