Hello,

I'm not a python programmer, but I can get around.  Anyway, I started to 
play with the "/bin/withlist" program to get a command-line method to 
change passwords.  My changepw.py program looks like:

import string

def changepw(mlist, addr, newpasswd):
        addr = string.lower(addr)
        if mlist.passwords.has_key(addr):
                mlist.passwords[string.lower(addr)] = newpasswd
                mlist.Save()
        else:
                print 'No address matched:', addr

and when I run it:

[mailman at server bin]$ ./withlist -l -r changepw list addr newpass
Loading list: list (locked)
Importing changepw ...
Running changepw.changepw() ...
Unlocking (but not saving) list: list
Finalizing

So why doesn't it save the changes to the list after the password is 
changed??

Thanks,
ajay
