I created the following python script to modify an arbitrary value within the config.db file. However, it seems to not correctly work. The value gets changed albeit it doesn't register correctly in the web. I admit to not being a python scripter. :-) Where am I messed up?

TIA, John

#! /usr/bin/env /share/bin/python

import marshal import sys

def main(argv):

file='/usr/local/mailman/lists/' + argv[1] + '/config.db'

fp = open(file, 'r') dict = marshal.load(fp) fp.close(); oldval = dict[argv[2]] dict[argv[2]] = argv[3] print argv[2], ' was: >', oldval, '< now is: >', dict[argv[2]], '<' fp = open(file, 'w') marshal.dump(dict, fp) fp.close();

if __name__ == "__main__": raise SystemExit(main(sys.argv))
