[Tutor] Deletion of email lists via web script-the saga continues...

OK, it is giving me this error:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLlistkill2.py", line 187, in ?
     if mylist not in aliasline:	# if this is NOT the alias to remove,
TypeError: string member test needs char left operand.

This may relate to the structure of the aliases file. here are the first 
several lines of it:


ns# list aliases.tinylist
Listing of file aliases.tinylist in directory:/etc/mail

# this is the tinylist aliases file. only list aliases go in here.
# aliases pointing at listmaster or to capture bounces go in the regular
# aliases file. Make sure this file is owned by 'nobody:wheel'.
#
# tinylist.org domain lists:
tinylist-devlopers:"|/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLpost.py tinylist-devlopers"
tinylist-users:"|/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLpost.py tinylist-users"
testlist3:"|/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLpost.py testlist3"
secret:"|/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLpost.py secret"
biglist:"|/www/www.tinylist.org/cgi-bin/TLpost.py biglist"


The web script posted this oputput- and aborted at the error:

WORKING...


List found, proceeding...

PASSWORD AND EMAIL MATCH UP. INITIATING DESTRUCTION SEQUENCE...

['./lists/testlist3.info', './lists/testlist3.owner']

./lists/testlist3.info
./lists/testlist3.owner
# this is the tinylist aliases file. only list aliases go in here.

That last line is the first line of the aliases file. Hmmm...

Respectfully,
