And

bin/withlist --help

also gives examples of using withlist with a script file.

Applying a script that needs the list locked to all lists (with the
'-a' option to withlist) is tricky because 'withlist -a' only unlocks
the last list so the script needs to do the unlocking. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-February/049447.html>
for a sample script that works whether or not you specify '-l' to
withlist.
