[Mailman-Users] Membership Management PHP UI

[Peter Knowles]

Mark,

Preferably I'd like to transparently issue a command to Mailman backend
script(s). That is, my PHP UI would make localized changes to queue (for
scheduled changes) or directly via the "exec" (or similar) command (for
real-time changes).

Essentially, we want to be in a position eventually to completely cripple
the admin UI shipped with Mailman.

One of the problems that I face is, I'm not a Python developer, so if
existing Mailman python scripts can manage the "read/write" functions in
order to extract things and update things that'd be great.

*** I'm already familiar with the "config_list" script which my "audit"
script uses to maintain user/global config options we do not allow our
users to maintain themselves. (that is, technically a user can override a
setting we maintain currently, but within minutes the settings are reverted
via our automated audit process. ***


Best Regards,
Peter Knowles
