I would like to work on this. I was wondering whether it would be a good approach to return the results as I'll explain below and to pass the section and key names to the command by the use of options: /bin/mailconf -s section -k key Both options would be optional. If you don't specify a key you would get a list of all the keys and their values of a given section and, if you don't specify a section, you would get a list of all the keys and values matching the given key name. If both options are provided, it would just print the value and if only one of the two is provided, it would return the "full path" of the keys, as suggested by Barry (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2012-February/021725.htm...). Some examples of usage:
/bin/mailconf -s mailman -k site_owner changeme@example.com
/bin/mailconf -s shell [shell] prompt : >>> [shell] banner : Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell [shell] use_ipython : no
/bin/mailconf -k path [runner.master] path: $QUEUE_DIR/$name [logging.template] path : mailman.log etc.
