This works for me:

1. with $prefix/Mailman as your pwd, use the following command to find 
where the function is defined in the Python source:

find . -name "*.py" | xargs grep "def getDeliveryStatus"

2. from the output pick a module that implements the function; there 
are several implementations defined in different modules on different 
classes

3. either read the code or use withlist to read the function's docstring

mailman at mailman:/mailman/run/Mailman> ../bin/withlist -i all-users-list
Loading list all-users-list (unlocked)
The variable `m' is the all-users-list MailList instance
 >>> from Mailman import MemberAdaptor
 >>> print MemberAdaptor.MemberAdaptor.getDeliveryStatus.__doc__
Return the delivery status of this member.

         Value is one of the module constants:

             ENABLED  - The deliveries to the user are not disabled
             UNKNOWN  - Deliveries are disabled for unknown reasons.  The
                        primary reason for this to happen is that we've 
copied
                        their delivery status from a legacy version 
which didn't
                        keep track of disable reasons
             BYUSER   - The user explicitly disable deliveries
             BYADMIN  - The list administrator explicitly disabled 
deliveries
             BYBOUNCE - The system disabled deliveries due to bouncing

         If member is not a member of the list, raise NotAMemberError.
