Is there a command line script that can be used to view an individual user's subscription options for a specific list?

I'm not aware of one, but it is fairly simple to do. I'm willing to add it to the collection at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/>, but what do you want in the way of output. Presumably the input would be something like

get_user_options listname user@example.com

but what kind of output are you looking for? What fields and in what format?

Based on a reply from Gretchen, I have implemented a first cut at this. The script can be found at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/user_options> (mirrored at <http://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/user_options>). The script displays essentially all the user information on the user's options page including optionally the password.

To use it, download it to Mailman's bin/ directory, make sure it has execute permission and then run 'bin/user_options -h' for more info.

Comments welcome.

I tried this and got:

This is under Python 2.4.3. (Should the file be called user_options or user_options.py? I tried it both ways and got the same result.)

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.
