I typically keep the *.py files I use with withlist in either the top 
level Mailman directory (sometimes referred to as $prefix or  
/usr/local/mailman by default) or in its bin directory.  If you put 
addtopic.py in either of those directories, it should be found whether 
you invoke withlist as 'bin/withlist' from the top level directory as I 
suggested, or as './withlist' as you tried.

No.  It just needs to be in one of the places Python searches for a 
module.  (This search path can be seen by examining the value of 
Python's sys.path variable.  You could stick a 'print sys.path' just 
before the try to see the directories that will be searched for your 
new module.)
