I'm sure there is if you've got a punishment fetish :)

Seriously though, if you want to change a list's password from the
command line, the best way to do that is to use the bin/withlist
script.  Use the -l option to lock the file, set the m.password
attribute to the empty string, and then do m.Save() and an m.Unlock()
before exiting.

Oh, maybe the above is painful after all for those who are new to
Python.  Sorry!
