It doesn't matter what you name the file or whether it has a .py
extension. This is only significant for withlist scripts.

The problem is your Python version. optparse.OptionParser didn't have an
'epilog' attribute in Python 2.4. That requires Python 2.5.

If you just remove the lines 36 and 37:

        epilog=Utils.wrap("""This script must be put in Mailman's bin/
directory."""),

from the script, it should work with Python 2.4, although the -h/--help
output won't contain that line.

Sorry about that. This dependency doesn't appear to be documented at
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/optparse.html#creating-the-parser>.
I'll add some comment to the script.
