[Mailman-Users] subscribing subscribers to topics

[Christopher Adams]

I see what you  are saying, but the instructions were to create a file 
called addtopic.py, include certain information in it, and then run it 
with the withlist command. While reading abou Python modules, it says 
that you can install  them. I don't know much about Python and am just 
fishing for answers to my various questions.
