I get this error:

 >>> m.removeMember("""constance.frei
... constance.frei at lettres.unige.ch""")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py", line  
219, in removeMember
     assert self.__mlist.Locked()
AssertionError

and with this I get:

 >>> del m.members["""constance.frei
... constance.frei at lettres.unige.ch"""]
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
KeyError: 'constance.frei\nconstance.frei at lettres.unige.ch'
