[Mailman-Users] Using set_mod.py

[Chris Nulk]

Hello all,

I am trying to change moderation settings on some lists via a script so 
I can automate the list management for several lists (approx. 30 lists).

In the script I use the following to run set_mod.py:

   /usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist --run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/set_mod 
LISTNAME --unset address at example.com

however, I get the following error back:

      Importing /usr/lib/mailman/bin/set_mod...
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 297, in ?
          main()
        File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 266, in main
          mod = __import__(module)
      ImportError: No module named /usr/lib/mailman/bin/set_mod

Just to make sure I am running withlist and set_mod correctly, I did 
change into the mailman directory (/usr/lib/mailman) and run the command 
as recommended in the documentation:

   bin/withlist --run bin/set_mod LISTNAME --unset address at example.com

and, I get back the following error:

      Importing bin/set_mod...
      Running bin/set_mod.bin/set_mod()...
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "bin/withlist", line 297, in ?
          main()
        File "bin/withlist", line 269, in main
          func = getattr(mod, callable)
      AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bin/set_mod'

I tried adding the .py at the end of set_mod but I get a different error.

As a matter of fact, things went from bad to worse.  All the different 
trys I did may have corrupted my test list.  I had to delete the list 
and recreate it.

Is there a magic incantation so I can run set_mod.py in a script like my 
first command above?
Is there an easy way to modify set_mod.py so I can run it without using 
withlist (like add_members, remove_members, etc.)?

Thanks for an help and any advice,
Chris
