First, did you see and try the following from FAQ 3.13

----------------------------------------------------

Before trying the method(s) below, first try

 % bin/list_members -i listname

If that lists the addresses you want removed, try

 % bin/list_members -i listname | bin/remove_members -f - listname

----------------------------------------------------

If that doesn't work, try the following withlist fragment

 >>> m.removeMember("""constance.frei
 ... constance.frei at lettres.unige.ch""")
 >>> m.Save()
 >>> ^D

and if that doesn't work, try

 >>> del m.members["""constance.frei
 ... constance.frei at lettres.unige.ch"""]
 >>> m.Save()
 >>> ^D
