Fail to create a list with MM3 ALPHA
I am having problems creating a mailing list with MM3 ALPHA.
Here's what I have done so far:
I created a config that overrides src/mailman/config/schema.cfg.
Then I started mailmanctl:
# /var/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -C /etc/mailman/mailman.cfg start Warning! You may encounter permission problems. Starting Mailman's master qrunner.
mailmanctl is created the necessacry directory structure in /var/lib/mailman/:
# ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/ archives bin data etc ext lists locks logs messages qfiles spam
It seems to run well:
# ps axf | grep mailman 16215 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep mailman 16164 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/master -C /etc/mailman/mailman.cfg 16167 ?

S 0:00 \_ /usr/local/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=archive:0:1 -s -C /etc/mailman/mailman.cfg
Then I try to create a list:
# /var/lib/mailman/bin/create_list -C /etc/mailman/mailman.cfg mailman@mailman.state-of-mind.de Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/create_list", line 18, in <module> mailman.bin.create_list.main() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/bin/create_list.py", line 93, in main options = ScriptOptions() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/options.py", line 80, in __init__ self.add_options() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/bin/create_list.py", line 47, in add_options super(ScriptOptions, self).add_options() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/options.py", line 131, in add_options type='unicode', help=_('The mailing list name')) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/optparse.py", line 1004, in add_option raise TypeError, "invalid arguments" TypeError: invalid arguments
What should I do?
Thanks,

I'll try to fix this later today. The problem is that I've enabled
unicode literals in all the source files, but Python's standard
optparse.py module does not allow unicode options (I consider this a
bug in the module, may or may not get fixed for Python 2.6). The
solution is to wrap the option specs in str().
The other problem is that the command line scripts are not well
tested. Eventually I'll add unit tests for those.

I think this is holding me up on my lmtp code. I need to be able to write a test that allows me to create a list, add a member, and change the member's posting permissions. All so that the lmtp server can reject the message if the sender doesn't have permission to post to the list.

Using the command line scripts in the test is not the right way to do
that. There are internal APIs for all that stuff. See some of the
existing doctests.
The command line scripts should be a thin wrapper around the internal
APIs, mostly to do option parsing and a bit of setup. Some of the
older scripts haven't been updated yet, but that's the design
principle I'm shooting for.

Ah, fair point. I should have engaged my brain first. Actually, our tests do use the API. I'll shut up now, and take a closer look at why they're not working.
