Hello,
thank you very much to everyone who took part in this discussion!
I got a very interesting insight!
@Jeremy:
The ansible approach is fabulous!
My team plans to go the ansible way for various automation and configuration
tasks!
So this is a good perspective for the future!
And with your link to the ansible file I am prepared for the change to come...
:-)
Also the remark on using the venv installed binaries, libraries etc. from
outside is very helpful.
@Stephen:
Thank you for your warning! I will keep it in mind while doing such kind of
operations from outside the environment.
(I am familiar with the shell and shell variables like PATH, LIBRARY_PATH
etc...so I hope I can get along... :-))
Your comments on my curl-command are right and this is due to my
"anonymization"-effort:

I should have used the alias "restadmin" and the password "restadmin-password"
for the "-u"-parameter to be more precise...so the curl-call should look like
this:
curl -X POST -u 'restadmin:restadmin-password' -H "Content-Type:
application/json" -d '{
"email": "[email protected]",
"display_name": "Peter Rabbit",
"password": "secret"
}' http://localhost:8001/3.1/users
And for describing the call of my high-level script I should have used:
./create-list --listname [email protected] --owner-email
[email protected] [--owner-name "Peter Rabbit"]
Using python...I think your suggestion:
> However, in production, you would most likely use "mailman shell -r script".
is the recommended way according to the docs here:
https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/docs/shell.html
Once again:
Thank you very much to everyone for this enlightening and helpful discussion!
Kind regards
Chris
