I'm trying to write a script to determine what lists have users that have moderation turned on. I found the following example in the list archives using the withlist command

from Mailman import mm_cfg

def list_moderated(m): for member in m.getMembers(): if m.getMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.Moderate): print member

However when I run the command:

withlist -q -r checkModerated.py jww_test

I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/bin/withlist", line 297, in ? main() File "/home/mailman/bin/withlist", line 269, in main func = getattr(mod, callable) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'py'

This seems pretty simple to me, but I don't have any python experience, this is my first brush with python. I do know perl, java and assorted other programming languages but you have to start somewhere when learning something new. Any help would be appreciated. Or you can forward this to your co-workers to make fun of the n00b.

Hi You are calling the 'withlist' command wrong.

You havent specified what you put into the checkModerated.py script, but thats kinda by the by, since

from "withlist -h":

-r [module.]callable
    This can be used to run a script with the opened MailList object.
    This works by attempting to import `module' (which must be in the
    directory containing withlist, or already be accessible on your
    sys.path), and then calling `callable' from the module.  callable can
    be a class or function; it is called with the MailList object as the
    first argument.  If additional args are given on the command line,
    they are passed as subsequent positional args to the callable.

    Note that `module.' is optional; if it is omitted then a module with
    the name `callable' will be imported.

    The global variable `r' will be set to the results of this call.

if you use "-r" you need to call a function, not give it a script name (hence the error .. no ".py" attribute)

keep reading down that help screen, and .. " As another example, say you wanted to change the password for a particular user on a particular list. You could put the following function in a file called `changepw.py':

from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError

def changepw(mlist, addr, newpasswd): try: mlist.setMemberPassword(addr, newpasswd) mlist.Save() except NotAMemberError: print 'No address matched:', addr

and run this from the command line: % bin/withlist -l -r changepw mylist somebody@somewhere.org foobar

hope that helps ;)

The help for withlist says

--run [module.]callable
-r [module.]callable

I realize this is cryptic, but in your case (module file name = checkModerated.py; function name/callable = list_moderated) it means the withlist command needs to be

withlist -q -r checkModerated.list_moderated jww_test

Note that the 'module name' does not include the .py suffix of the file name. Alternatively, if you named the file list_moderated.py, you could run it with

withlist -q -r list_moderated jww_test

This answered my question, thanks a lot!

Is there an api anywhere that has a full list of all the objects you can use in mailman?

Not in Mailman 2.1. We'll do better next time! I have a bunch of
uncommitted changes that will start to use formal zope.interfaces to
document the important APIs.

New subject: Determining if a user or list has moderation

Just wanted to post my quick and dirty solution to reporting on moderated lists. I wrote a perl script to execute the withlist command with output from the list_lists command:

### Begin Perl ### #!/usr/bin/perl

# open file open(FILE, "listsTest.txt") or die("Unable to open file");

# read file into an array @lists = <FILE>;

# close file close(FILE);

foreach $line (@lists) {

   my @listname = split(/\s-\s/, $line);

   @listname[0] =~ s/\s//g;


   $moderators = `./withlist -q -r checkModerated.list_moderated

$listname[0]`;

   if (length($moderators) > 0)
   {
     print $listname[0],  " Moderated Users \n";
   }
   else 
   {
     print $listname[0], " No Moderated Users \n"; 
   }

}

### end ###

My python script to find the moderated users:

### begin python ####

from Mailman import mm_cfg

def list_moderated(m): for member in m.getMembers(): if m.getMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.Moderate): print member

### end ###

Thanks for answers to my questions!!!
