Cool.

make_config() is only useful for tests.  Are you writing a unittest or
doctest?

Note that make_config() requires that the test live in the ConfigLayer or
higher (zope.testing layers are a confusing construct since they don't follow
normal Python inheritance rules, but for now, we're stuck with it.)  Look at
TestStart in commands/test/test_control.py.

Note that doctests by default live in the SMTPLayer, which is higher than
ConfigLayer and thus acceptable.

Although this is probably not your problem, Python 2.7 is now required for
Mailman 3.
